Documentation of a Friday stabbing attack at Jerusalem's Old City in which two Border Police officers were lightly wounded shows that the assailant was shot many times by Israeli officers, even after he already lay on the ground.
The attacker, 20-year-old Mohammad Abu Khalaf from Kafr Aqab in East Jerusalem, arrived at the Damascus Gate where he was checked by a Border Police force stationed there. According to assessments, he equipped himself with a knife in the Old City and then returned to the gate to attack the security forces. Upon his return, he charged one of the offices with the knife and stabbed him in the head.
