It is reported that the terrorist who perpetrated the Givat Ze’ev stabbing attack late Wednesday night, Abadah Abu Ris, is a son of Dr. Aziz Abu Ris, with the latter being among the group of terrorists expelled from Israel by Yitzchak Rabin in 1992. They returned from Lebanon not too long thereafter, in 1993.

The attack occurred shortly after 11:00PM on Wednesday night inside Givat Ze’ev. The attacker stabbed Menachem Mendel [Rivkin] ben Cana Yehudit, 38, a resident of Givat Ze’ev, two times. He arrived in the trauma unit in very serious condition and B”H, is in stable/serious condition in an intensive care unit following surgery.

The terrorist was lightly injured when citizens chased after him and restrained him until police arrived. The terrorist was treated and released in custody from Hadassah Hospital.
