A man of about 30 was moderately injured in a stabbing attack on Sultan Suleiman Street, near Herod's Gate in Jerusalem.
Border Police officers shot and eliminated the terrorist, who was later found to be a tourist from Türkiye. He was identified as Hassan Skalanan, a tourist who entered Israel on Monday through the Allenby Crossing between Israel and Jordan.
