Suspect in stabbing perpetrated gay pride attack in 2005
Police say that the man suspected in the stabbing at the gay pride parade in Jerusalem today is Yishai Schlissel, the same person who committed the attack on the Jerusalem gay pride parade 10 years ago.
According to Walla news, Shlissel was released recently from prison after serving a prison sentence for the 2005 attack.
Before the 2005 incident, Shlissel reportedly shouted, “I came to kill in God’s name.”
