The motzei Shabbos stabbing attack victim is a 17-year-old former resident of Brooklyn, who made aliyah a few weeks ago. The victim, described as being chareidi, who was B”H only wounded lightly by the Arab terrorist wielding a knife, told authorities he moved from Brooklyn to Israel to join the IDF and after the attack, he remains more determined to enter the elite Sayeret Matkal unit.

The victim’s name is not being released at this time pending notification of his family in the United States.

One of the perpetrators of the attack, a 16-year-old Arab male, turned himself in to police. Three others have been arrested since then, one 16-years-old and the third 11.

Reports on motzei Shabbos that the terrorists were in custody on motzei Shabbos were premature.
