Two Israeli women, who were wounded in a stabbing attack Tuesday morning in Yerushalayim are being treated at Shaare Tzedek Medical Center. The two, women in their 70s, are in moderate and light condition respectively. A third was treated at the scene and released.

Witnesses said that the terrorists were masked and that they had taken the womens’ purses.

Two suspects were apprehended, but then released after it was found that there was no evidence against them.
