According
to initial media reports, a Palestinian terrorist used his car to deliberately
drive into a crowd of Israelis near a light-rail train station in Jerusalem around
noon today (Israel time).
The driver from eastern Jerusalem (member of Hamas) sped away and then
crashed into a second group of pedistrians and other cars. Shortly afterwards,
the terrorist exited his car and attacked passers-by with a metal pole. The
terrorist was shot dead by the police.
One
person was killed and approximately nine people were injured, including two in
serious condition.
This
is the second deliberate attack on a Jerusalem light-rail station using a
vehicle in recent times. The last car attack, which took place exactly two
weeks ago (Wednesday, 22 October), killed Chaya Zissel Braun, a three-month-old
dual Israeli-American citizen and 22-year old Karen Jemima Mosquera, originally
from Ecuador.
