Three Palestinians Searched for a Jew to Stab in Jerusalem
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Three Palestinian teenagers were indicted Friday for stabbing and seriously wounding an Israeli man in Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood on July 20. Muhammad Alabiyat, 18, Wizan Abiyat, 19, and a 17-year-old from Bethlehem purchased three knives, drove from the Palestinian town of Beit Jala and continued by foot to Gilo, where they searched for a Jewish victim to stab. The group approached Or Sayar, 25, and began to converse with him to ensure he was Jewish, then stabbed him several times before fleeing back toward Bethlehem. One of the knives remained lodged in the victim's back. Israeli forces detained the suspects two days later in a cave where they hid. Sayar remains hospitalized.
