A Jerusalem court extends the remand of a Palestinian teenager suspected of carrying out a terror stabbing attack near Jerusalem’s Old City yesterday.
The 17-year-old from East Jerusalem will be held for another seven days, until September 13.
The terrorist attacked people with a cleaver on a promenade near the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City, seriously wounding an Israeli man and lightly hurting a tourist.
He was detained by officers after tossing the knife and attempting to flee the scene.
Police say officers also detained a friend of the assailant, also 17, from East Jerusalem, on suspicion that he knew of his intentions to carry out the attack and did not report it to authorities.
The second suspect’s remand is also extended by the court, by six days.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
