Tractor Terror Attack in Jerusalem

One Israeli was killed and another six were wounded when a Palestinian Arab terrorist attacked a passenger bus with a large bulldozer on the streets of Jerusalem Monday afternoon.

The attack occurred on the major thoroughfare dividing eastern Jerusalem from the western half of the city, very near to the Olive Tree Hotel.

Witnesses believe the bulldozer driver was attempting to run over people waiting at a nearby bus stop when a passenger bus suddenly pulled up. Not wanting to miss his opportunity, the terrorist rammed the bus, flipping the vehicle on its side.

Eyewitness video provided to Israel’s Channel 2 News showed that the terrorist attempted to continue his attack, when an alert police officer quickly opened fire, killing the bulldozer driver before he could do further damage.
