A 26-year-old Israeli woman was hospitalized Wednesday morning after she was stabbed near the grave of Shimon HaTzadik (Simeon the Just) while walking her children to school in the Shimon HaTzadik/Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem.

The children were physically unharmed and were being supervised by police at the scene after their mother was taken to the hospital.
Magen David Adom paramedics who arrived on the scene found the woman in serious condition, provided her with life-saving treatment, and took her to Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center. After arriving at the hospital, her condition stabilized and her wounds were listed as minor.
Moshe Cordoba and Dudi Gur, the paramedics who responded, said that when they arrived, the woman was fully conscious and ambulatory.
"We rushed her to the hospital in serious but stable condition. She was able to communicate with us on the way. The children weren't hurt and stayed with police at the scene," the paramedics said.
Police swept the area after a young woman was reported fleeing the scene of the attack and within an hour arrested a 15-year-old Palestinian girl.
This is the third terrorist attack in the space of three days, after a young man was stabbed near Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem on Saturday night, and a 16-year-old Palestinian carried out a car-ramming attack at Te'enim checkpoint on Monday, wounding a security guard.
