2 people are stabbed by Palestinian employee at a hotel outside Jerusalem

By JULIA FRANKEL

JERUSALEM (AP) — An employee stabbed two guests at a hotel outside of Jerusalem on Friday, the second attack by a Palestinian in the area this week.

According to police, the employee came out of the kitchen at a hotel in the bucolic Kibbutz Tzuba and stabbed two guests in the dining room.

An off-duty police officer and the hotel’s dining manager tackled the attacker until more officers arrived and arrested him.

Israeli paramedics said they evacuated two men, aged approximately 50 and 25, to a nearby hospital. They said both had been stabbed in their torsos, the older man left in critical condition.

Israeli police, who described the stabbing as a militant attack, said the suspect was from the Shuafat area in east Jerusalem, and that three other suspects were also arrested on suspicion they were involved in the attack. Hamas praised the attack but did not claim responsibility for it.

Two Palestinians from the occupied West Bank opened fire at a bus stop at Jerusalem earlier this week, killing six people. Hamas claimed that attack.

The war in the Gaza Strip, triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel, has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and sparked a surge of violence in Israel and the occupied West Bank.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

A young woman who has just experienced a sexual assault is in triage, and “The Pitt’s” Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) enlists Dr. Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) to assist charge nurse Dana Evans (Katherine LaNasa) with the patient. “We can call for a SANE,” another nurse suggests when Dana says she’ll be occupied. “On a holiday? Could be hours,” responds Dana, a veteran who knows better, as the Fourth of July shift enters afternoon hours. “We’re not going to make this patient wait. And since I’m the only SANE on staff …” A what? The quick reference sets in motion what “The Pitt” aims to shed light on: a sexual assault forensic exam, also known as a rape kit exam.
