A Border Police officer was moderately injured in a stabbing attack near Sha’ar HaPrachim in the Old City of Jerusalem early Tuesday afternoon.
The terrorist was neutralized and killed by other Border Police officers in the area. He was later identified as a Turkish national named Hassan Skalanan, 34, who entered Israel from Jordan at the Allenby Crossing on Monday.
Paramedics administered emergency medical aid to the officer and evacuated him to the hospital.
A large number of police forces arrived at the scene and closed off all entrances to Har HaBayis.
Israel Police later released footage of the attack:

Look at second video, soldier with no kipa and shaved head-obviously ‘chiloni’ with a lovely pair of tzitzis….. we see this the whole time in Israel since Oct 7th. Mi Keamcha Yisroel!
I hope his family is happy that he accomplished nothing and now they are widowed and orphans!
In Turkey it would had probably gotten a reward. I am glad it is no longer alive.
May the officer heal.
This wicked turk now has a lot of explaining to do to his Maker, but please don’t release his corpse until Hadar Gildin’s body is returned
