2 Muslim religious figures arrested after terror attack

Police arrested two suspects in connection with a terror attack in Jerusalem’s Old City.

Israeli police arrested two suspects in connection with Saturday’s stabbing attack in Jerusalem’s Old City, in which three Israelis were wounded.

The two suspects, Sami Abed Fatiha and Hasnin Zajayer, clerics at the Al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount and connected to Islamic charities, were arrested Sunday and remanded for four days.

A gag order was placed on all other details related to the investigation.

Israeli security forces raided the home of the terrorist, Ahmad Razal, 17, from Shechem (Nablus), who was shot dead by police after stabbing two civilians and a border policeman on Hagai Street in the Old City, the site of multiple attacks.
