Terrorist, 22, stabbed passengers on #40 bus on Begin Road. At least four are seriously wounded. Suspect shot in leg, caught.
A terrorist stabbing attack took place Wednesday morning on a bus in centralTel Aviv, on Begin Road, near Beit Maariv. The terrorist in an Arab man, reportedly from Judea and Samaria.
A video uploaded to Facebook by Jerusalem Councillor Arieh King shows the terrorist after his arrest.
Ten to 15 people were reported wounded in the stabbing. Four, perhaps six of them, are suffering from serious wounds. The wounded were taken to Ichilov and Tel Hashomer hospitals. The number of the wounded being reported has been changing since the attack took place, apparently due to initial confusion.
An eyewitness told IDF Radio that two of the wounded were very seriously hurt, having been stabbed “in the brain, in the neck.”
He said that some of the wounded got away from the bus and advanced about 100 or 150 meters before collapsing.
The stabbing rampage took place inside the #40 line bus. The terrorist reportedly stabbed the driver first, and this prevented the driver from opening the bus’s doors to let the passengers escape. The doors were reportedly opened by one of the passengers.
He then got off the bus and was chased by police on Hamasger Street.
According to police, a team from the Israel Prisons Service’s elite Nachshon unit happened to be driving behind the bus when the attack took place. The officers got off the car and gave chase to the terrorist, shot him in the leg and arrested him.
He is reportedly 22 years old and a resident of Tulkarem in Samaria, who was in Israel illegally.
We are at war. I don’t understand why they just aim to injure and subdue.
@ Max:
Arabs can be thankful Jews allow them to live. Only Israel it seems, must make sure no one who tries to murder a Jew dies, lest G-d forbid, it becomes an international incident.
SHmuel HaLevi 2 Said:
You mean the same ones who under American pressure, are busy apologizing to the Iranian mullahs and Hezbollah terrorists for killing their top dogs on the Golan Heights on Sunday?
What’s next – they’ll apologize to this terrorist’s family for having shot him?
Oy vey!
Condolences to the victims
🙁
…
I can see from the photo where the second shot should have been placed through the gut and organs at that angle. Would most probably have killed him.
But they took a photo instead 🙁
Israel doesn’t have the death penalty so they will probably trade this guy for some old bones in a few years after a vacation in prison as a Muslim Hero where he picks and marries a wife from his Muslim admirers.
Too bad.
Terrible…
Yet as expected. We allow the renegade flotsam passing as leaders to detain Jews who defend themselves and theirs as those in the Security Emergency Team from the Shomron and release murderers.
The whole combina MUST be removed from any function of state. Or far worse will be upon us all.
All of them.
Further.
Please arm yourselves for self defense, every Jew able of so doing must be armed and trained.
