A 20-year-old Israeli police officer, Sgt. Elisheva Rose Ida Lubin, was stabbed to death by a 16-year-old Palestinian in Jerusalem's Old City on Monday. Sgt. Lubin was an American immigrant from Georgia who had moved to Israel last year to join the border police. She was critically injured in the stabbing attack while on patrol and later died of her wounds. The teenage Palestinian assailant, a resident of East Jerusalem, was shot dead at the scene. The fatal attack comes amid ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza. Sgt. Lubin was dubbed a "lone soldier" in Israel without family there.
