| The couple which got engaged before the attack |
Arab terrorists attacked a young couple in Jerusalem, stabbed the young man and tried to lynch him - shortly after he proposed to his partner at a popular couple's spot in the eastern part of the city..
The knife penetrated the victim's lung and he is still hospitalized. During the attack, his fiancée escaped and hid from the attackers, and only when the wounded young man managed to reach the police on his own did police arrive to rescue the woman.
The stabbing attack took place on Sunday evening, after Aviha, a 21-year-old resident of Samaria, proposed to his girlfriend Shahar at a location overlooking the Temple Mount. The couple informed their families and friends of the news and left. On the way, their vehicle was blocked by other vehicles, and the rioters began throwing stones and rocks at them.
"The back window broke, I went outside to make them go away, and my fiancée called the police. At first they were afraid of me, but when they realized I was alone they knocked me to the floor and beat me all over, threw stones at me while I was on the floor," Avihah described. During the attack, Avihah was stabbed in the back, but he was not yet aware of it.
As she attempted to call the police, Shahar escaped from the vehicle. However, Avihah was unaware of this: "After five minutes of them beating me, I managed to get back in the car, and I saw that Shahar was not there. I was sure that the Arabs had taken her. I drove quickly to the Beit Orot junction, where there were police, and said there was a lynching."

Two Israelis were killed Tuesday afternoon in in rocket attacks on the the southern cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon.
At the same time, Red Alert sirens also sounded in Bat Hadar, Mavki'im, Masu'ot Yitzhak, Be'er Tuviya, Be'er Ganim, Nitsanim, Nitzan, Nir Galim, Talmei Yaffa, Sde Uziyahu, Gan Yavneh, Beit Shikma, Zikim, Yad Mordechai, Erez, and other locations around the Gaza periphery.
One of the rockets hit a building in a residential area of Ashdod, and at least 11 people, including two children, were reported to be lightly injured. Three other people were treated for shock.
Another rocket struck a school in Ashkelon. No injuries were reported.
In a subsequent wave of rocket attacks, one person was fatally injured in Ashkelon. A second person, identified as an 80-year-old woman, suffered serious injuries.
United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Avi Amar, who was one of the first responders at the scene in Ashdod, said: "A rocket hit a house directly and three people suffered minor injuries from being struck by pieces of shrapnel. Together with other volunteers from United Hatzalah I treated them for their injuries. Miraculously, their injuries were not more serious."
Magen David Adom (MDA) chief Eli Bin said that one of the rockets caused "very significant damage to an educational institution. Luckily, there were no classes in it. The building is burning."
On Tuesday, IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi ordered the military to broaden its counter-terror operation in Gaza, telling the units to "attack every Hamas terrorist."
Meanwhile, Hamas warned that the rocket fire "will get more intense later."
Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza Strip fired a massive barrage of rockets at the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon at dawn on Tuesday, wounding six people and threatening to turn the city “into hell.”
The assault came after a night of almost constant rocket fire on Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip and as the Israel Defense Forces conducted strikes on more than 100 targets in the coastal enclave, as part of what it has called “Operation Guardian of the Walls,” the military said. The previous day saw a major outbreak of violence from Gaza, including rare rocket fire on Jerusalem, where Palestinians have been clashing with police for days.
According to Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry, at least 23 people in the Strip were killed on Monday night and Tuesday morning, including nine minors. Another 107 Palestinians were injured to varying degrees, the ministry said. The IDF said at least 15 of those killed were members of the Hamas terror group who were launching rockets or anti-tank guided missiles at Israel. IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said a number of those killed in Gaza, including at least three children, were hit by errant rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists, not by Israeli airstrikes.

President Joe Biden is determined to reverse everything President Donald Trump did — not least, what many Democrats consider his misguided tilt toward Israel. Yet this week the world got a good look at what overturning Trump’s policies there means, with the eruption of fresh clashes of violence in Jerusalem, new missile attacks and fires raging in south Israel.
Democrats are hard-pressed to dispute Trump’s historic achievement in brokering the normalization agreements between Israel and Arab countries, known as the Abraham Accords. But liberals despised his decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, his demand for accountability from the Palestinian Authority for supporting terrorism and his cut of funding to UN agencies hopelessly biased against the Jewish state.
They wanted a return to an Obama-era “even-handed” approach that would signal to the Palestinians that, once again, they have a friend in the White House. And Team Biden has been moving in that direction. The result: emboldened Palestinians, from their leaders on down.
