MDA Paramedic Ariel Rabbi Eli Gartnerm, one of the first to arrive, said, "When we arrived at the scene, we saw 3 young men about 20 years old lying down fully conscious and suffering from bruises on their limbs. We gave them quick medical treatment in the field which included dressings and administering medication and evacuated them with the cooperation of an IDF medical force to the hospitals when their condition was severe, moderate, and mild."
The new attack comes amidst the holiday of Ramadan, a generally particularly tense security period in Israel and the West Bank.
While the first days marking the Muslim holiday had been calm, the first incident broke out on the Temple Mount on Friday night, after the death of an Israeli Arab terrorist killed by the security forces after carrying out a shooting on the site.
