Terrorist Bulldozer Rampages in Jerusalem, Murders Three

JERUSALEM, Israel [INN] — An Arab terrorist from eastern Jerusalem sped with a bulldozer down Jerusalem’s busiest street just before noon Wednesday, ramming buses and crushing cars. At least three people were murdered in the unprecedented attack.

Two policemen caught up with the tractor and climbed inside, after a policewoman shot the driver but did not kill him. They first struggled with the terrorist-driver, and the driver stopped – but then abruptly started up again, until he was shot and killed, putting an end to the murderous spree.

Some 45 injuries have been reported, including at least three dead and two in moderate or serious condition. Two bodies were extricated from the wrecked cars, and one woman died of her wounds on the way to the hospital. Most of the bus passengers are reported to have suffered only light injuries, though at least one – an infant – is in serious condition.

An eyewitness said that he saw the bulld

o

zer ram the bus several times, and then continue on in his attempt to run down passersby and cars. “Some cars were able to get away, but at least one was not, and he rammed his shovel right into the windshield,” the man said.

The terrorist is a 30-year-old father of two from the Arab neighborhood of Tzur Baher in eastern Jerusalem – the same neighborhood in which the perpetrator of the Merkaz HaRav slaughter lived.

As of 2 PM, a baby in light condition was in Shaarei Tzedek Hospital – but its parents have not yet been located. The parents of another baby were found somewhat earlier.

Magen David Adom sources confirm that the incident, which began at the intersection of Jaffa and Sarei Yisrael Streets, was a terror attack. The Arab tractor driver crushed or damaged at least six cars and two buses. One Toyota car, for instance, is totally crushed; the woman driver was killed.

An emergency situation was declared in the capital.

Construction work on the new light-railway is taking place in the area, and Arab workers, including tractor drivers, are a familiar sight on the scene.

The overturned bus lay on its side on the sidewalk outside the old Shaarei Tzedek building, which are the current offices and studios of the Israel Broadcasting Authority. Several reporters were eyewitnesses to the attack.

The security services are investigating whether the terrorist was acting alone and without backing from a known terrorist organization, as was apparently the case this past March, when an eastern Jerusalem terrorist murdered seven students in Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav.

    R”L!

    This is crazy!

    But of course knowing Israel, the guy who shot the driver will probably have to stand trial and may sit for years.

    Lets call a spade a spade!

    Israel is a messed up country, and if it werent for the fact that the Rebbe sent Shluchim there, i would really believe as other Chassidic Sects do, that there is no Mitzvah to live there until Moshiach comes.

    Lets hope that Moshiach comes NOW!

  • MOSHIACH NOW!!

    Yesterday’s terrorist attack was a terrible horific tragedy and loss. Period. Yet,this sorta’ “we are the victim mode” is a direct outcome of interfacing and negotiating with the Arab world. I liken it to a spouse that is married to someone abusive. Even though they are bashed physically and brutally…they “stay married”. Because it is “safe”…and they rationalize that their abusive spouse will change etc….Instead of running out for good. Yet, when that person is found dead in their home one day, everyone is shocked and sorry.
    It is the EXACT same thing with Israel. WE are the VICTIMS! Yet we/the goverment “stay” is this sick ugly & abusive “relationship” giving in and justifying the Arabs actions to “please” the world and get “approval” for the price of potential “peace”. These Arabs are doing WHAT HAS BEEN INSTILLED AND PROGRAMED IN THEIR VERY BONES FROM THE DAY THEY WERE BORN. It is their blood. They do not CARE what people think. They are NOT LOOKING for approval. They are fighting for what they “believe” in. Period. It’s the sad and pathetic truth when I have to honestly say that the corupt Israeli goverment can “learn a lesson” from these Arab animal terroriist…and that is to SIMPLY FIGHT for what WE AS A JEWISH NATION AND PEOPLE BELIEVE IN….AND STOP BEING THE VICTIM. It is the cruel truth…We have OURSELVES to blame…The day that we will stand up and fight like Israel once did in our history as a people, without wavering doubt…We will be a strong and well respected nation…that no longer will have “blood on it’s hands.”
    …“May the families who have lost their loved ones be comfoted amongst the mourners of Tzion…and may they and we know NO MORE PAIN NOR SORROW.”

    Please ask Hashem to do a miracle – clean up Israel”s goverment brain. If Rebbe says-there is no israel arabs- what is it? Some neboch jews trust them more than their brothers.
