3:00PM IL: Police report a number of arrests have been made in connection to the Sunday afternoon stabbing attack of an IDF soldier on board a bus in Ramat Gan. The attack occurred at the intersection of Abba Hillel and Rashi Streets.
Police are not releasing the identification of any of the suspects in custody, reporting the attacker got off the bus behind the soldier, apparently stabbing him as he was getting off. Some of the information released by police on Monday contradicts the information released on Sunday, following the attack.
The soldier remains in good condition in Ichilov Hospital. An unknown organization calling itself the Jerusalem Army is claiming responsibility for the attack.
