The attack happened near Sha’ar Shechem (Damascus Gate) on Habad Street (not Chabad Street).

The boys were stabbed in the upper body. MDA paramedics took them to Hadassah hospital where they were listed in moderate but stable condition.

The 19-year-old terrorist ran away, but thanks to the police’s Old City camera system, “Mabat 2000”, the terrorist was tracked and soon caught by police in his home in the Old City, and the bloody knife was found with him.
