The Jerusalem District Attorney’s Office, criminal, filed an indictment in the city district court today (Friday) against Ahmad Nasla, a 24-year-old resident of Jerusalem, for two attempts to murder Jews in the village of Hizma about two weeks ago.
According to the indictment, filed through attorney Aviad Devik, the defendant decided to carry out a murderous attack by slitting the neck of a random Jew. Slit his throat and threw an iron bar at him hitting the store owner who tried to stop him.
He made sure the victim was not an Arab and slit his throat
The next day he returned to the village of Hizma equipped with another knife, then went to another complainant who was staying near the grocery store, made sure he was not an Arab and began to slit his throat. The complainant tried to defend himself and at the same time the owner of the grocery store went out towards him and as a result the defendant fled the scene. As a result of the defendant’s actions, the complainants required medical treatment.
The indictment attributes to the defendant the commission of an offense of a terrorist act of attempted murder. The prosecution is asking the court to order the detention of the accused until the end of the legal proceedings against him. It will be recalled that forces of undercover and border fighters, together with the IDF, were operating in the Shuafat refugee camp, following the intention they received from the GSS regarding a suspect in carrying out the two stabbing attacks.
