On Monday evening, an Israeli border patrol officer was killed in a stabbing attack at a checkpoint near the entrance of the Shuafat refugee camp in Jerusalem. The officer and a civilian security guard were conducting a routine inspection of passengers entering the city when a 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist pulled out a knife. The terrorist managed to stab the officer and wound him. The civilian security guard then opened fire inside the bus, but accidentally hit the Border Police officer. The officer, in his 20s, was taken to Hadassah Hospital in critical condition. Doctors attempted to resuscitate the officer but were unsuccessful. The officer killed in the attack has been identified as Staff Sgt. Asil Su’ad, 22, from the northern Bedouin village of Hosniyeh. The attack was the second to occur in Jerusalem within hours. Su’ad served as a career member of the N.D. company in the Border Police, responsible for protecting Jerusalem. Sgt. Asil enlisted in the Border Police in March of 2019 for his mandatory service and served in the same company. At the end of his mandatory service, he fought to serve permanently at the same company and location. Sgt. Asil’s friends in the company talk about him as the happiest man, always helping and assisting everyone, always committed to every task and loved serving towards the security of the country.
