Two Jews were stabbed by an Arab attacker at two adjacent construction sites in Modi’in on Tuesday afternoon, 3 Teves. The latest reports from Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Hospital signal their conditions are more serious than first believed as one is listed in serious condition and the second moderate.

The attacker stabbed the first victim in his upper body and fled, then attacking a second person nearby. The attacker fled but was apprehended and learned to be a PA (Palestinian Authority) residents from Beit Sira.

While police have yet to announce an official determination, investigators are signaling there is an increasingly likelihood the attack was an act of terror.
