Security forces on Wednesday night 3 Tishrei arrived at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital in search of an Arab who tried throwing a firebomb at policemen earlier in Issawiya but was shot and wounded in his lower torso before he succeeded.

When the suspect was not found in Hadassah, they moved the search to Mukassed Hospital in the eastern capital, Walla News reports. The hospital is located in the A-Tur area of the capital. Soldiers checked many wards, lounges, doctors’ facilities and other areas of the hospital. Hospital officials accuse Israel Police of disturbing patients. Israeli officials report the search was coordinated in advance. The suspect was not found.
