JERUSALEM STABBING: ISIS CLAIMS FIRST DEADLY ATTACK IN ISRAEL
The Islamic State militant group (ISIS) claimed a deadly attack in Israel for the first time Friday, after three Palestinian men stabbed and killed an Israeli police officer in Jerusalem.
The attack took place in two adjacent areas near Damascus Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City. At one, a Palestinian fatally stabbed policewoman 23-year-old Hadas Malka. A short distance away, two Palestinians opened fire and tried to stab a group of Israeli police officers. Police shot them dead.
“With God’s help, we succeeded in carrying out an attack in the heart of Jerusalem, near the Temple Mount,” ISIS said in a statement on its Amaq news agency. It gave each attacker a nom-de-guerre , with each one holding the last name Al-Maqdisi. Maqdisi is an Arabic term for a Palestinian Jerusalemite.
