Two separate stabbing attacks Wednesday have sent shockwaves across Israel amid fears of the start of the Third Intifada in Israel.

A Palestinian woman stabbed an Israeli man in the Old City of Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, in the third stabbing attack in the area since Saturday.

The attack occurred near the Lion’s Gate. The terrorist was shot by the victim, identified as a 36-year-old male who was stabbed in the back and neck.
