An initial investigation found that three yeshiva students from the ‘Shuvu Ahim’ yeshiva were attacked by several Arabs, during which the man had been stabbed. Police is investigating whether an argument had broken out between the yeshiva students and Arab youth.

Magen David Adom paramedics called to the police station evacuated the man to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. Another man, 32 years old, was taken to Shaare Zedek in light condition with wounds to his neck and a fracture in his hand.

One suspect was held for questioning, while police and Border Police forces were searching the area for additional suspects.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the incident was being regarded as a terrorist attack.

Israel is in the midst of its worst sustained bout of violence in nearly a decade. Eleven Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks over the past month, including five people who were killed in a assault on a Jerusalem synagogue last week.

Attacks have been mostly in Jerusalem but also in Tel Aviv and the West Bank.
