The violence that has plagued residents of Jerusalem in recent weeks flared again on Monday evening when two Jewish men were attacked near the Jaffa Gate to the Old City, with one man suffering serious stab wounds while the other was lightly injured. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said authorities “strongly believe the stabbing was a terrorist attack. The victims were surrounded by a group of Arab men, and one was stabbed and the other was lightly injured.” Police have not yet apprehended any suspects in the attack.
