‘Significant improvement’ in health of security guard hurt in Jerusalem stabbing

Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center says there has been a “significant improvement” in the condition of a security guard who was seriously wounded in a stabbing attack at the city’s central bus station last month.

The hospital says Asher Elmaliach remains in intensive care but is no longer breathing through a ventilator and can “communicate with his surroundings.”

His attacker, Yasin Abu al-Qar’a, a 24-year-old Palestinian, was charged in a Jerusalem court last week with “a terrorist act of attempted murder” and entering Israel illegally.
