Shin Bet: Jerusalem terrorist entered Israel illegally

The Shin Bet security service says the terrorist who stabbed and seriously injured a security guard in Jerusalem entered Israel illegally.

The 24-year-old Palestinian had a permit allowing him to work in the so-called “seam region,” surrounding the West Bank, but not inside Israel proper, the service says.

The terrorist is from the Nablus area and had no previously known terrorist ties, the Shin Bet says.
