A terror attack was carried out in Jerusalem Wednesday evening involving a car ramming into a crowd waiting at a light-rail station. The attack, carried out by a Palestinian man known to police as a member of the Islamist terror militia Hamas, killed three month old Chaya Zissel, a dual American-Israeli citizen and wounded her parents and five other people. The driver of the vehicle attempted to escape on foot but was shot by police and later died of his wounds. Rioting broke out in the eastern Jerusalem following the incident, and on Thursday morning masked Arabs attacked a Jewish kindergarten in the Ma’aleh Zeitim neighborhood with stones, before being chased away by police. The attacks against Israeli children in the capital was only the latest incident in an escalating spiral of violence which has flared over recent months.Read More
