In an incident in the East Talpiot neighborhood of Jerusalem, two terrorists boarded a bus. One of them had a pistol and his partner in crime had a knife. The two started to shoot and stab passengers. Border Police forces rushed into the bus and fired at the terrorists. One of the terrorists was eliminated and the other one was injured. As a result of this terror attack, two people were killed and 18 others were injured, among them at least 3 critically injured.

In another terror attack that occurred immediately afterwards on the Kings of Israel Street in Jerusalem, a terrorist ran over three passengers waiting at a bus stop. After that, the terrorist got out of his car with a knife in his hand and started to stab people. In this terror attack, one person was killed and a number of others were injured including some that were critically injured. The man killed was identified as 59-year-old Rabbi Yeshayahu Krishevsky.

The terrorist who implemented this attack was Alaa Abu Jamal, who worked for the Israeli Bezek Telecommunications Company. He is a resident of East Jerusalem and used company property in order to wage the terror attack. The Bezek Company rushed to condemn the terror attack: “Bezek expresses deep shock following the terror attack in Jerusalem on the Kings of Israel Street that was implemented by a company employee. We are deeply grieved by the deep pain of the families of the murdered individuals and are praying for a speedy recovery of the wounded.”

“We have to take dramatic steps to change the reality in Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem,” Jerusalem’s Mayor Nir Barkat stated following the double terror attacks today in Jerusalem.  “I call upon the government and the security forces to take severe steps.  I also call upon the residents to not take the law into their own hands.
