American-Israeli Police Officer from Georgia Stabbed to Death by Palestinian Teen in Jerusalem's Old City

Georgia Native and "Lone Soldier" Elisheva Rose Ida Lubin Stabbed While on Duty, Sparks Clashes Leading to Multiple Arrests and Death of Assailant During IDF Raid in Refugee Camp

• Sergeant Elisheva Rose Ida Lubin, a 20-year-old Georgia native and Israeli border police officer, was fatally stabbed by a 16-year-old Palestinian while on patrol in Jerusalem's Old City.
• The teenage assailant, a resident of East Jerusalem, was shot dead by other police officers and the event triggered a hunt by the Israeli Defense Forces leading to multiple arrests and the attacker's residence being prepped for demolition.
• Lubin, a 'lone soldier' originally from Dunwoody, Atlanta, immigrated to Israel in August 2021 and joined the Israeli police service in March 2022, living in Kibbutz Sa'ad near the Gaza border.
• The attack is part of escalating tensions in the region, with Lubin's death bringing the total number of Israeli officers killed since Hamas' October 7 attack to 59, set against the backdrop of a broader Gaza war with over 1,400 Israeli-reported deaths and a Palestinian death toll surpassing 10,000.
• Lubin’s death sparked an outpouring of condolences, including from Georgia Governor Brian Kemp who commended her courage and commitment and pledged to stand alongside Israel.
