The boy was stabbed multiple times as he rode his bike, he is said to only have survived thanks to the quick work of medical teams and remains in a serious condition in hospital.

(CUFI View: It is shocking to think that children are incited to violence in this way, and it is clear to see they are themselves victims in all of this. This attack produced some of the most heartbreaking images and hardest to watch videos since these attacks began – we must be fervent in prayers for the recovery of these boys, and for this whole situation)
