Three Israelis were injured in a car-ramming attack in Jerusalem on Monday morning by Arab terrorists.
Initial reports suggest a pair of terrorists from the Hebron area drove their white Kia into a crowd of pedestrians near a synagogue in the Romema neighborhood of Jerusalem, injuring three people. After plowing into the pedestrians, the terrorists exited the vehicle and attempted to shoot with an improvised submachine gun. The gun allegedly jammed, preventing the terrorists from carrying out a potential mass shooting.
According to Ynet, the terrorists fled the scene, leaving behind their jammed machine gun and an axe. They were later arrested at a nearby furniture store and taken into Shin Bet custody for interrogation.
After receiving first response care, Magen David Adom ambulance service took all three injured to Jerusalem’s Sha’arei Tzedek hospital for further treatment. The hospital’s trauma unit reported that it treated a 20-year-old man, along with two boys, ages 18 and 15, for minor injuries, an all three are scheduled to be released prior to the Passover holiday tonight.
