TWO guests have been stabbed at a hotel in Israel as the attacker screamed “Allahu Akbar” before being tackled by an off-duty cop.
Emergency services rushed to Kibbutz Tzuba in the Jerusalem Hills on Friday after a 60-year-old and 23-year-old were wounded in the attack.

The assault took place at a hotel in Tzuba, an Israeli kibbutz less than 10 kilometres west of Jerusalem, medics said.
Cops confirmed the Palestinian assailant has been arrested.
Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service said: “EMT (emergency medical technician) and paramedics are treating two stabbing victims and evacuating them to hospital, including a 60-year-old male in serious condition and a 23-year-old male in moderate condition.”
Israeli police said an individual “from the Shuafat area carried out a stabbing attack against guests at a hotel in Kibbutz Tzuba, injuring them”.
The Shuafat neighbourhood and nearby refugee camp are in east Jerusalem, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967.
