Teenage Terrorist Stabs Man in Jerusalem
A 14-year-old terrorist stabbed a 64-year-old man near a bus stop in Jerusalem’s Neve Yaakov neighborhood on Wednesday. The man is in moderate condition. Israeli police ground and air forces searched for and captured the fleeing terrorist, a resident of Kafr Akab in the north of Jerusalem. The police also apprehended another 14-year-old from Kafr Akab who is suspected to have been involved in the attack.
This incident reminds us that terrorists are not limited to adult men; teenagers carry out these attacks too. Many learn violence and hate for the Jewish people and the State of Israel from a young age. The police’s effective response stopped the terrorist from committing further violence, but the stabbing draws attention to a problem that won’t be solved anytime soon: teaching children terrorism.
