An Arab terrorist from Hebron critically wounded a Border Police officer at the Damascus Gate area in the Old City of Jerusalem around 10:30 Sunday morning
The wounded policeman shot and critically wounded the terrorist. Early reports that the terrorist died have not been confirmed.
Magen David Adom medics treated the policeman and the terrorist before evacuating them to Shaarei Tzedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals, respectively.
Several posts of incitement on Arab media told readers that Israel left the terrorist to die.
The condition of the Border Police officer, described to be around 20 years old, is life-threatening. Doctors have operated on him.
Police estimate that the terrorist was a “lone wolf,” an increasingly meaningless term given the constant incitement from the Palestinian Authority and Muslim clerics preaching martyrdom.
Police clashed with Arabs in the same area Saturday night as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan gets off to a bloody start.
One person was slightly injured in a rock-throwing attack on his car and was rushed to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

On Friday, Palestinian Authority terrorists murdered 25-year-old Daniel Gonen at point-blank range after asking him and his hiking companion for water.
The friend was suffered moderate wounds, and the terrorist still is at-large, along with a suspected accomplice who apparently drove him to and from the scene of the attack.
