The Hamas terrorist organization praised the vehicular terror attack which also injured at least 13 others. Three of the most seriously wounded were also rushed to Hadassah Medical Center’s Ein Kerem trauma center.
The terrorist, a known Hamas operative has been identified as Ibrahim al-Akari. The attacker first mowed down a crowd of pedestrians waiting for the Jerusalem Light Rail at the Shimon HaTzadik platform. He then drove on to Moshe Zaks Street and repeated the process with new victims.
The attack mirrored one that took place two weeks ago at the Ammunition Hill station for the Light Rail. In that tragedy, a terrorist drove his car down the tracks and then directly into the crowd of commuters who were standing on the platform waiting patiently for the train. But in this case, Al-Akari continued his attack; he got out of his vehicle and began beating others with a metal bar until he saw police cars begin to arrive. Finally he fled down Route 1, where he was chased by Border Patrol officers who shot and killed him, ending the savagery — at least temporarily.
A scant few hours later, Arabs in Shuafat followed the terror spree with an attempt of their own, hurling firebombs (Molotov cocktails) and shooting fireworks at Border Patrol officers in Jerusalem’s Shuafat section. In a separate incident, two other Arabs meanwhile sprayed tear gas at Jerusalem police officers. It is not clear where they managed to obtain the weapon. No one was injured in either attack, and police report one arrest following the incidents.
A Border Patrol captain fell in the line of duty on Wednesday while trying to protect Jerusalem civilians from a Hamas terrorist. Chief Inspector Jadan Assad, 38, was from the Druze village of Beit J’an in northern Israel. Assad was gravely wounded in the terror attack and tragically pronounced dead upon arrival at Hadassah Medical Center’s Ein Kerem trauma unit, despite extended CPR and advanced life support resuscitation efforts. He leaves behind his pregnant wife and a three year old child; three other Border Patrol officers also were wounded in the attack. “All my sons serve in the security forces; the Border Police was in his blood and soul,” said Assad’s father shortly after hearing of his son’s death. “He loved the service and he loved Jerusalem.” HONOR AND GLORY TO JADAN ASSAD Z"L AND TO HIS FAMILY PEACE-SHALOM AND G-D'S BLESSINGS!

An Arab terrorist slammed his van into pedestrians in an attack in Jerusalem shortly after noon Wednesday, killing one, leaving two others in critical condition and several others in serious condition. Fourteen people have been injured so far. Three of the seriously wounded were taken to Hadassah Ein Karem, where one of them died despite resuscitation attempts. The attack began on the corner of Bar Lev and Shimon Hatzadik Street at the Shimon Hatzadik Light Rail platform. The driver then continued onto Moshe Zaks Street where he ran over more people. The terrorist, not satisfied with running over people at the two locations, then got out of the car and began beating people with a metal pole. Two Border Patrol police shot and killed the terrorists, preventing a worse tragedy. The terrorist was from Shuafat and known to be a Hamas operative. He has been identified as Ibrahim Al-Akari........MAY HE ROT IN HELL!!!!!

Thousands came to the northern Israeli Druze town of Beit J’an today to pay their final respects to Border Patrol Chief Inspector Jadan Assad as he was laid to rest. The 38-year-old police captain was murdered in a Hamas vehicular terror attack yesterday (Wednesday, Nov. 5) along the tracks of the Jerusalem Light Rail. He is survived by his pregnant wife and young, three-year-old son, four siblings and both parents. Among the sea of mourners was Public Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovitch, whose voice rang out as he blamed Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for Assad’s death. The Druze police captain, he said, “was murdered yesterday with heartless cruelty and taken evilly from his wife, his son and his parents.” Israeli leaders have united in condemning the Palestinian Authority leader, citing repeated instances of his incitement to terror. Three other Border Patrol police officers suffered serious wounds in the attack in addition to ten others who were wounded as well.

Druze - our blood brothers.

In today’s terrorist attack in Jerusalem our Druze brother, Border Policeman Jidan Assad from the Galilee village of Beit Jann, was murdered. It was another Druze officer at the scene who eliminated the terrorist. What a wonderful community. I am very familiar with his family. His late father was a quadriplegic due to injuries he sustained during the First Lebanon War. My condolences to the Assad family and to all members of the Druze community.
