[NYPost] An Israeli security guard was stabbed by a Palestinian in Jerusalem Sunday in what local authorities are calling a terror attack.The unidentified officer was knifed in the chest near the entrance to the city’s central bus station, reports Haaretz newspaper. He’s in critical condition, and is currently being treated at a nearby hospital.
The knife-wielding man, a 24-year-old who lives in the West Bank, was apprehended after he was tackled by a bystander, local police said.
Israeli media have identified the accused attacker as Yassin Abu al-Qarah, who wrote "our blood is devoted" to the holy city on Facebook mere days ago.
Other social media users have commented on his page, calling him a hero.
Jerusalem has been on tenterhooks since President Trump's recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on Wednesday.
