Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli regime police say a 19-year-old Palestinian man stabbed two Israeli teenagers as they walked to a holy site on a Jewish festival.
Spokeswoman Luba Samri said the Palestinian stabbed the two 17-year-old boys from behind on Sunday. Samri says officers later apprehended the suspected attacker and the two boys remain hospitalised.
The assault came on the Jewish Shavuot holiday, when Jews traditionally stay up all night reading religious texts.
The teens were on their way to the Al Buraq Wall, also known as the Western Wall, which Jews say is a remnant of the biblical Jewish Temple compound and the holiest site where Jews can pray.
Nearby is occupied Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, Al Haram Al Sharif, Islam’s third-holiest site.
