Terror attack on IDF troops in Jerusalem yesterday

About a dozen soldiers have been wounded in an apparent attack in central Jerusalem, Israeli police say.

They say a man drove his car into the group at a busy intersection, before being shot and killed.

Police said the driver was a Palestinian and described the incident as a "terror attack".

The road junction is close to the boundary between the Jewish and Arab areas of Jerusalem. Two of those injured are in a serious condition.


'Turned his car'

The incident took place just before 2300 (2000 GMT).

A black BMW mounted the pavement and hit a group of Israeli soldiers, who were wearing their uniforms.

Jerusalem police chief Aharon Franco said that a Palestinian resident of the city was driving the car.

"He turned his car towards a group of soldiers who were at an intersection," he said.

"The car then hit a wall, and a soldier shot and killed the terrorist." (Azael33: Well done!)
It is the third such incident in recent weeks in Jerusalem.

On two previous occasions, Palestinian construction workers from East Jerusalem have driven diggers into oncoming traffic, killing three Israelis and wounding several others.

The attack came only hours after Israel's Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni accepted an invitation from the president to form a new government. The request followed the resignation on Sunday of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who faces several corruption inquiries.

In addition, 11 tourists were kidnapped in Egypt and were moved into Sudan, Tzipi Livni is now at the proccess of making a coalition and Olmert finally resigned.

so, a dumbass on BMW running over a bunch of IDF soldiers now constitutes terror attack?

with all due respect, but honestly whats next, men with plastic knives ? it seems that the Palestinians completely run out of explosives and resort to all sorts of unorganized nonsense...

Yes.

Since when is attacking a group of Soldiers a terrorist attack?

Edit: I would probably support Hamas if they contained themselves to Military targets.

Oh yes, supporting Islamic fanatics is today's fashion.

[Burnum]

Any worse then the Jewish ones?

[Aziel]

Any worse then the Jewish ones?

A lot worse. It's irrelevant anyway, the existence of Jewish fanatics. There is no reason to support Hamas.

Because the intent is probably to make Israelis afraid that any vehicle on the streets of Jerusalem might just suddenly start running people over. Soldiers this time, but next time, who knows?

[Panzerbear]

how can you have a "terrorist act" against clearly a military target? the soldiers were armed and wore uniforms.

Uh, wait then, in your previous post you claimed it isn't a terror attack because the guy used a BMV, and now you argue using the definition of Terrorism? OK, that's fair, it doesn't somehow make the attack less bad. It's the third incident in Jerusalem of this type in one year.

my thoughts as well.

[nce_wht_guy]

its cus they're jewish

[Aziel]

these fanatics are religiously justifying theft and annexation of land

They do not kill Palestinians if the take lands which are not theirs, I would call the Hamas, which kills Israeli civillians, Palestinian civillians and fights with Fatah and Al-Qaeda's branch in Gaza Strip (in these very days) - much worse. It isn't even comparebale, for God's sake.

Both Jewish and Palestinian Fanatics are fueling this conflict

Wrong, it's only the Palestinian fanatics, because they are those who actually were elected by the Palestinian people to lead them. If you call the Likud, Kadima and HaAvoda "Jewish Fanatics", you are nuts.

then they are a Legal Resistance group

Wrong, there is no such thing as "legal resistance group".

[Lord Consul]

Wrong, there is no such thing as "legal resistance group".

Err... According to some piece of paper called "Geneva Conventions" that Israel absolutely loves to disregard, there actually is a legal definition of what "a resistance group" is.

Anyway, those soldiers hurt in this attack have nothing to do with this legal controversy, so I wish them a speedy recovery.

[Burnum]

They do not kill Palestinians if the take lands which are not theirs

, their are hundreds examples Jewish settlers killing Civilians and driving Palestinians of their lands.

Wrong, it's only the Palestinian fanatics,

Wrong, what do you call people who religiously justify the theft of land?

Wrong, it's only the Palestinian fanatics, because they are those who actually were elected by the Palestinian people to lead them.

Yeah, and their was wide range of political parties.

If you call the Likud, Kadima and HaAvoda "Jewish Fanatics", you are nuts.

The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel

I call this an Extremist attitude, don't you?

Wrong, there is no such thing as "legal resistance group".

According to international Law, if they follow the Geneva Convention, they are Legitimate Resistance group.


Edit: the only way for the Palestinian conflict is going to end is if all parties abandon Religious Extremism.

[Vequor]

Sharon was a fanatic...he marched into the Dome of the Rock with his boots on and declared he was going to blow it up for ***** sake.

[Aziel]

Err... According to some piece of paper called "Geneva Conventions" that Israel absolutely loves to disregard, there actually is a legal definition of what "a resistance group" is.

So what? Good for you, I hope you enjoy the deaths of people because of "legal resistance groups".

[Aziel]

their are hundreds examples Jewish settlers killing Civilians and driving Palestinians of their lands.

Wrong, there aren't.

Wrong, what do you call people who religiously justify the theft of land?

Fanatics? But they weren't elected by the Israelis, while the Palestinian fanatics were - thus your argumant failds meeting with reality.

Yeah, and their was wide range of political parties.

There was: http://www.mideastweb.org/palestianparties.htm

The fact that almost 100% of the Palestinian parties support terrorism shows the Palestinians support fanatics and terrorism.

I call this an Extremist attitude, don't you?

Huh? I said: "If you call the Likud, Kadima and HaAvoda "Jewish Fanatics", you are nuts."

According to international Law, if they follow the Geneva Convention, they are Legitimate Resistance group.

And if international Law will create a definition which make the KKK as a "Legitimate Resistance group" - would you be as happy as you are with the definition which gives legtimacy to "Resistance groups" that kill people for whatever reasons they have?

[Lord Consul]

I'd certainly call Likud an extremist party. Kadima is right-of-centre and Haavoda... Well... They're active... ;P

[Aziel]

That's because you don't have a clue on Israeli politics. The Likud is for Palestinian country, for your knowledge.
