An IDF officer was injured on Tuesday evening 2 Iyar in a bomb attack near the Hizme Checkpoint on Jerusalem’s northern border.

An IDF patrol in the area detected a suspicious object which turned out to be a bomb. That bomb detonated near the force and the wounded officer was transported to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

A search of the area turned up eight additional bombs. Hadassah Hospital reported on Wednesday morning the officer remains in serious/stable condition.
