Ramat Gan Religious Council Head Seriously Wounded in Suspected Stabbing Attack

  • On Thursday, a 47-year-old man was stabbed in Ramat Gan in what authorities suspect was a terror attack; emergency responders evacuated the victim, identified as religious council chairman Gedaliyahu Ben Shimon, to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.
  • Israel Police arrested a 20-year-old resident of Jatt, an Arab village in northern Israel, shortly after the incident, though authorities have not officially determined if the stabbing was terror-motivated.
  • The victim reported the assailant yelled "Allahu Akbar" during the attack; footage reviewed by The Jerusalem Post indicates the assault continued after the stabbing, while Israel Police later uncovered a knife suspected to be the weapon.
  • Ben Shimon remains in serious but stable condition at Ichilov Hospital, and the Central Investigations Unit of the Tel Aviv District police has assumed responsibility for investigating the case.
  • Law enforcement officers remain deployed throughout the area for evidence collection and public safety, as authorities examine the incident as a potential terror attack due to lack of evidence the two men knew each other.
