In the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation, Egyptian forces took control of the Gaza Strip and Jordan took over the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said one of the 12 injured in Jerusalem was seriously hurt, the others were lightly injured. Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the incident was being treated as a “terror attack.” He said Israeli forces were searching for the assailant.
The Israeli military said it was carrying out the demolition of a home belonging to a militant that carried out a deadly attack. It said that during the operation, explosive devices were fired at the troops and they responded with “riot dispersal means,” usually tear gas and stun grenades. The military added that the incident was being looked into.
