An Israeli soldier and civilian were stabbed in east Jerusalem on Monday before the assailant was fatally shot by police, highlighting the tensions in the holy city days after a cease-fire halted the region’s worst fighting in years.
First responders said the two victims were both men in their 20s and had stab wounds to their upper bodies. One was injured severely and one was in moderate condition. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that one of the injured was an IDF soldier who was evacuated to the nearby Hadassah University Hospital for further treatment.
Israeli media reports that police identified the assailant as Jadallah Abad al-Rauf, a 17-year-old resident of east Jerusalem’s Kafr Aqab neighborhood. He was shot by a border police officer and died at the scene.
The stabbing of a soldier and a civilian came in the the tense aftermath of an 11-day war between Israel and Gaza s militant Hamas rulers that was triggered by protests and clashes in Jerusalem.

This comes when violence between Israeli Arabs and Jews living in mixed communities is at an all-time high.
Randa Aweis, an Arab Christian born in Jerusalem, spend the last nine years of her life on dialysis after her kidneys failed. As CNN explains, she recently got a call that a donor kidney was available. So the 58-year-old had surgery earlier this week at Jerusalem s famed Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Kerem.
At the time, she knew nothing about where the kidney came from but would soon find out that it once belonged to Yigal Yehoshua. Per CNN, Yehoshua was “a Jewish Israeli man who died in the wave of violence between Jews and Arabs in the Israeli town of Lod.”
