Moriah Cohen, 26, who was lightly injured today (Wednesday) in the stabbing attack in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem, was released to her home, after being treated at Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus. In a conversation with “Israel Today”, she recounts the incident and the terrorist attacks that are escalating.
Cohen shared: “I took the kids to kindergarten. We started going to kindergartens and I saw her. I thought to myself she was waiting for someone. I went ahead and crossed the road and then I felt a strong blow in the back. I shouted and my son said to me: ‘You have a knife in the back.’ I felt great pain. Help, “she recalls. Within minutes, MDA and police forces were called to the scene. “I was evacuated to a hospital while shouting ‘Where are the children?’ What have I sinned against her? It’s a blatant lack of deterrence. “
Cohen shares that this is not the first time her family has been in real danger. “In the past, stones and Molotov cocktails were thrown at us. It is terrorism and they are taking another step every time. We need to put an end to this. I expect the police to intervene to make order. What is this thing? Today it is clear to me that Arabs are worth attacking. “
Despite her injury in the attack, Moriah Cohen remains determined and strong: “I will continue to live here and walk calmly and powerfully. Our Jerusalem, let them understand that this is not their place.”
Regarding the young terrorist, Cohen emphasized that: “It just shows me what education they are being educated in. It is a result of incitement. A child at this age will not do such a thing. It still hurts physically and mentally, but we are not broken by it. It will not let go of our hands. I had “A great miracle. I was stabbed to the hospital. I was lucky to have both a coat and a sweater because it was cold and it was difficult for a knife to penetrate. Thank God she did not hit my children who were next to me.”
Dvir Cohen, Moriah’s husband, told Israel Today after the attack: “We will not leave the neighborhood. We believe in settlement in East Jerusalem. We know there are terrorists around us, but we will continue to settle Jerusalem until they understand that the State of Israel is the landlord.”
Cohen, who lives with his wife and children in the Shimon Hatzadik neighborhood, near Sheikh Jarrah, said: “There are threats against us and I have heard many times: ‘I will kill you.’ We live near terrorists. “
