East Jerusalem man handed 15 years for ramming, stabbing attack

A resident of East Jerusalem is sentenced to 15 years in prison today for a combined ramming and stabbing attack in October 2016.

The verdict says Murad Rajabi, from the Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, struck one person with his motorcycle before attempting to stab another.

It says Rajabi sought out people with an appearance of “observant religious Jews.”

He is convicted of attempted murder, aggravated injury and possession of a knife.
