A Border Police officer was lightly wounded in a stabbing attack at the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday. The assailant, armed with a sharp object, attacked the officer before attempting to flee into the Old City, where he was neutralized by other officers. Medical sources confirmed the officer was conscious and walking, despite having a knife lodged in his upper body. Authorities have emphasized the swift and professional response of the police in managing the attack, which highlights ongoing security tensions in the region, particularly since the Gaza war began over 11 months ago. The incident underscores the complexities surrounding security in Jerusalem, a city central to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Investigations are ongoing as police maintain a heightened alert in the area.
