A Jihadist terrorist attacked border patrol patrol police in Maale Adumim east of Jerusalem today.
The Jihadist was a 14 year old boy who came to the checkpoint and then attacked the border police with a knife and was shot before he was able to carry out his attack.
The terrorist was later identified as Wadia Shadi Sa’ad Alian, a 14-year-old student in Abu Dis who lives in the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood of Jerusalem.
Border Police commander Itzhak Brik praised the fighters at the scene, saying, “You did your work in an excellent and professional manner, exactly as we expect of you.”
“He came here with the goal of carrying out a terror attack against civilians, and in the end you prevented this – and as I said this is exactly what I expect of our fighters. Good for you – you did beautiful work.”
