Israeli security forces killed three men, one of whom fatally stabbed a police woman, after carrying out a stabbing and shooting attack in Jerusalem on June 16.
The attack occurred at two separate locations near the Damascus gate of the Old City of Jerusalem. At one location, police said two men used a firearm and knives to attack a group of Israeli police officers, while at the other site, a man went on a stabbing spree and fatally wounded a border policewoman. Two civilians were reportedly hospitalized with nonlife-threatening injuries.
The ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack, their first on Israeli soil, however it is not clear if the attackers were aligned with them or not.
