The situation of rising violence
This stabbing happened just days after a deadly shooting attack on Monday in northern occupied Jerusalem, where two Palestinian gunmen opened fire inside a bus station near the Ramot settlement.
Six Israelis died and 15 others were hurt, including a rabbi, in that attack. According to Israeli sources, at least six of the injured were in critical condition, while others had serious or moderate injuries.
The attacks are getting worse, which makes people in Jerusalem more worried about their safety. Israeli troops are on high alert after a string of stabbings and shootings.
