A young female Border Guard officer was critically injured Wednesday afternoon in a combined stabbing and shooting attack by three terrorists at the Shechem (Damascus) Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem. Another female Border Guard police officer was seriously wounded and a third person was less severely injured. Numerous others were badly traumatized from the scene.
Security forces initially prevented the Magen David Adom paramedics from going near the attackers for fear of a pipe bomb the terrorists were carrying.
According to Jerusalem police, three terrorists armed with Carl Gustav M/45 sub-machine guns, knives and explosives arrived at the Damascus Gate and were immediately identified by Border Guard officers at the site. They stopped them for questioning; one terrorist handed his ID card, the other pulled out his gun and started shooting. Two female Border Guards were injured and all three of the terrorists were neutralized.
The critically injured female officer, 20, was rushed to the Trauma Center at Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center, as was the second female officer, 19, who was stabbed in the neck. A man, 21, was injured lightly; he was treated at the scene and then evacuated to the hospital as well.
Two pipe bombs were successfully dismantled by sappers from the security force, according to Israel Police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld.
The three terrorists were residents of Qabatiya, in the Jenin area of Samaria, with no prior history of security offenses, according to Israeli security sources.
All three of the attackers — Ahmed Rajeh Zakarneh, Mohamed Ahmed Kmail and Ahmed Najeh Abu Al-Rub – were killed.
