Two people were injured in a stabbing attack Wednesday afternoon, after a terrorist began attacking civilians at a Rami-Levy superstore in Mishor Adumim, near Ma’ale Adumim in the Jerusalem area.

Magen David Adom (MDA) forces arrived at the scene shortly after the attack began at around 4:20 p.m., and gave emergency first-aid treatment to the injured. Both are men in their mid-50s and suffering from shoulder and head wounds.   

The terrorist was apprehended and has sustained light injuries after being shot by a security guard at the scene. 

“Near the cash registers there were two people, injured, about 50 years old, fully conscious with stab wounds in the upper body,” Fadi Badarne, an MDA medic, stated to the press. “They told us that as they were shopping, they were jumped upon suddenly by a terrorist, who stabbed them.”

“We gave them first aid at the scene and evacuated them to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem while fully conscious, with moderate injuries,” Badarne continued. “The terrorist was shot in the limbs and treated there as well; he’s in mild to moderate condition.” 

Hadassah Medical Center representatives added just before 5:30 pm that two additional people had been admitted to Hadassah Hospital at Mount Scopus and are being treated for acute anxiety. 

Initial reports indicated that the attack was a shooting, but MDA medics and Channel 2 reported shortly after reports first aired that the attack was, in fact, a stabbing – and that the terrorist was not shot and killed, but merely injured. 

Meanwhile, photos and some video of the attack – and its aftermath – have begun surfacing on social media.
