Terroranschlag mit LKW in Jerusalem

„Four IDF soldiers – three women and a man in their 20s – were murdered and 13 wounded when a Palestinian truck driver deliberately rammed into pedestrians on a popular promenade overlooking the walled Old City of Jerusalem on Sunday. The truck, which has Israeli license plates stolen from a private vehicle, sped towards pedestrians waiting at a bus stop and hit them deliberately, police said. (…)

Hamas praised the attack, trying to get #TruckIntifada trending on Twitter and handing out sweets in Gaza to celebrate it. ‚This truck attack shows that any attempt to put a stop to the resistance will fail,‘ Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, wrote on Twitter. Hamas spokesman Abdul-Latif Qanou called it a ‚heroic‘ act and encouraged other Palestinians to do the same and ‚escalate the resistance.‘ Qanou says Sunday’s attack proves the wave of Palestinian violence has not ended, despite a recent lull. He says ‚it may be quiet, it may linger, but it will never end.‘“ (Roi Yanovasky/Omri Efraim: „Four IDF soldiers murdered in terror attack in Jerusalem’s East Talpiot“)
