Today a resident of East Jerusalem plowed a bulldozer into the crowed streets of Jerusalem. This incident caused 3 deaths and over 30 injuries to bystanders.
A Palestinian man killed at least three people and wounded 30 more when he rammed a bulldozer into a bus and cars in central Jerusalem before being shot dead, medics and police have said.
After midday (0900 GMT) the man drove the 20-tonne earth moving vehicle 500 metres along Jaffa Road in the heart of west Jerusalem, hitting a crowded public bus and other vehicles including one car which was completely wrecked.
At the scene of the attack, injured people lay on the ground amid piles of
broken glass and blood stains on the ground.
Traffic was halted as hundreds of people were reported to have fled through the streets.
Several people opened fire at the man driving the earthmover.
A Palestinian resistance group has claimed responsibility for the act, although this still needs to be confirmed.
group calling itself the Imad Mughnieh unit of the Brigades of the Liberators of the Galilee claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, the credibility of the claim could not be immediately established.
With a Gaza ceasefire in effect the violence in the area has been moderately contained. This act can do nothing but hurt the peace process from a government and social standpoint. If this peace were to really work acts likes these and similar acts committed by the IDF will have to cease. These acts should be condemned as wrong and a form terrorism and not a form of resistance and stand against oppression.
