1. This seems to be the new method of Arab terrorism in Jerusalem

Seems these terrorists will go to any length, and use any method, to kill Israelis.

If guns and bombs don't work, they will use their own bodies, or vehicles. Very sad that they cannot find anything better to do with their time.

2. Hamas Welcomes Jerusalem Attack

GAZA CITY (AFP)--Hamas on Tuesday welcomed an attack in which a Palestinian man slammed his car into a group of soldiers in Jerusalem, wounding 13, before he was shot dead.

"The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades welcome the operation in Jerusalem, which was a natural and legitimate response by the Palestinian people," the military wing of the Islamist movement said in a statement issued in the Gaza Strip.

"This operation represents the continuation of the holy Jerusalem intifada, a legitimate right and a response ... to the murders, arrests and house demolitions, the judaisation of the holy sites and land expropriations," the statement said.
