Palestinian Terrorist Strikes in Jerusalem

A Palestinian from East Jerusalem drove a bulldozer into a bus on Jerusalem’s Jaffa Street today, killing three people and wounding dozens.

A Palestinian from East Jerusalem deliberately plowed a bulldozer he was driving into a passenger bus on Jaffa Street in the capital shortly after noon Wednesday, killing at least three people and wounding dozens more.

One of the dead was a woman who had been driving her car at the scene of the attack. Police shot and killed the driver of the bulldozer, who held an Israeli identification card, and who had a criminal record.

Footage of the attack, which appears to have been caught multiple times on camera, shows the policeman climb up to the cab of the moving bulldozer, reach in through the window and shoot the driver in the head. A cloud of blood explodes onto the glass and the driver can be seen slumping sideways in his seat.
