Late Wednesday night a convicted murderer stabbed a border policeman with an axe at the entrance of the Damascus Gate in the Old City. He was trying to attack a group of policemen, but was captured before he majorly injured any one of them. This came not too long before several firebombs were thrown at a police car setting it on fire. Thankfully, the passengers in the car were able to get out of the car before being seriously injured. The fire started spreading to other cars, but was quickly taken under control. We thank God that neither of these incidents led to the death of anyone. Please pray that this kind of nonsensical violence with stop.
