Jewish settler injured in alleged stabbing attack

Wednesday 8-December-2021

A Jewish settler was lightly injured on Wednesday morning after being allegedly stabbed by a Palestinian minor at the entrance to the flashpoint Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem.

Israeli police claimed the arrest of a Palestine teenage girl suspected of carrying out the attack in a nearby school.

Police said the suspect was a 14-year-old girl who lives in Sheikh Jarrah.

Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood has been the target of repeated settlement activity by the Israeli government and religious settler organizations due to its strategic location in Occupied Jerusalem.

Dozens of Palestinian families were ordered to evacuate their homes as a means of forcing them to leave this religiously-significant city – thereby leaving it clear for the expansion of settlements.
