One person was lightly injured in a stabbing incident that occurred at about 3:30PM on Tuesday, 12 Kislev, in the Har Gilo area near Wallaje Junction. Authorities have not yet determined if the stabbing was an act of terror or criminal in nature.
Magen David Adom reports the incident occurred near the IDF/PA District Coordinating Office near Beit Jala, a PA (Palestinian Authority) area adjacent to Bet Lechem. The 30-year-old victim sustained light facial injuries.
There is an unconfirmed report that the victim, an Israeli male, entered an Arab grocery store and was attacked. The attacker fled the scene.
The victim was transported to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem, an MDA spokesperson said.

“There is an unconfirmed report that the victim, an Israeli male, entered an Arab grocery store and was attacked. ”
Simple solution: don’t go into Arab grocery stores. Anywhere.
The expression “an Israeli man” (or just “Israeli,” or “citizen”) in reports like these often refers to an Arab citizen. Arabs from Jerusalem visit those areas regularly and the locals take them for Jews and act “accordingly.”
