The ummah is busy at work this week...CANADA and ISRAEL

The ummah is busy at work today — just as Muslim supporters of the Islamic State are cheering the terror attacks in Canada today, Hamas and Gazan Muslims are applauding the jihad in Israel.

A three-month-old baby is dead and at least seven pedestrians are hurt in Jerusalem after an Arab driver plowed into people waiting at a Light Rail station close to the National Police headquarters on Wednesday evening, officials said.  Hospital officials at Hadassah Mt. Scopus announced the death of the infant shortly after 8 p.m., after doctors tried to stabilize the unconscious child’s condition, from a severe head wound in the attack.

“There was a suspect vehicle that hit and struck nine people that were waiting at the train stop. As a result the suspect tried to flee the scene and was shot by police officers in the vicinity,” Israeli Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told The Algemeiner.  While Rosenfeld could not confirm the identity of the driver, Israel Radio said the 20-year-old driver, was a resident of the Arab Silwan neighborhood.

Rosenfeld said later in a tweet that the suspect has served time in an Israeli prison for security offences. Israel television said the individual was a Hamas member who served two sentences for terror activity.Israeli Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich said “all signs” suggested that the ramming was a terror attack, according to Ynet News.

A Hamas spokesman praised the attack, calling it a “natural reaction to the crimes of the occupation,” but stopped short of taking responsibility.

Soon after the attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security consultation in conjunction with Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Israel Police Commissioner Insp.-Gen. Yohanan Danino and Israel Security Agency Director Yoram Cohen, according to a government statement.

“In the telephone consultation, the Prime Minister was updated on the details of vehicular terrorist attack in Jerusalem; he ordered that security forces in Jerusalem be reinforced. ‘This is how Abu Mazen’s [Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas] partners in government act, the same Abu Mazen who – only a few days ago – incited toward a terrorist attack in Jerusalem,’” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu on Tuesday approved a plan introduced by Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch for the formation of a new police unit dedicated to dealing with the civil and security unrest in Jerusalem, JNS News reported.

The plan calls for legislative changes that will allow law enforcement to better deal with children and teenagers who stone vehicles and railway cars traveling through the capital, especially in the city’s eastern Arab neighborhoods. The Jerusalem Light Rail has come under numerous stoning attacks over the past few months, resulting in significant damage to its operations.

Israel Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino said Tuesday that the new unit will have advanced intelligence and technological capabilities that will allow its officers to better deal with rioters. “The unrest experienced in Jerusalem, our capital, is always a top priority,” Danino said, according to Israel Hayom. “We cannot ignore riots, stone-throwing, or the hurling of Molotov cocktails and firecrackers prevalent on the Temple Mount and in other areas of the city. These are serious incidents and they must be treated as such.”
