A girl who was stabbed during the Jerusalem, Israel stabbings died today in hospital.
The 16-year-old Shira Banki was in critical condition after she was attacked; she died while in the care of her doctors.She was one of six people stabbed when Yishai Shlissel attacked marchers with a knife during Jerusalem’s annual pride parade on Thursday.
Shlissel was dressed in ultra-orthodox garb as he charged into the crowd, stabbing six before being restrained by policemen. He is currently in custody and awaiting trial.
Police have been criticized for not monitoring Shlissel closer, who had only been released for three weeks after having been imprisoned for stabbing three people at a pride parade in 2005.
In response to the attacks, rallies were held in Jerusalem and the capital of Israel, Tel Aviv.
