Two Injured in Suspected Terror Stabbing West of Jerusalem

A stabbing attack occurred at a hotel in Kibbutz Tzuba near Jerusalem, where two guests—a 60-year-old man and a 23-year-old man—were injured. The assailant, a 42-year-old employee from the Shuafat refugee camp with a criminal history, attacked guests in the dining hall while shouting "Allahu Akbar." An off-duty police officer staying at the hotel quickly intervened, subduing and arresting the attacker, which likely prevented further casualties. The victims were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, with the older man in critical condition. This attack follows a recent shooting in Jerusalem claimed by Hamas amid ongoing violence linked to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Israeli authorities, including police and Border Police, continue to operate at the scene as the investigation unfolds.
