Another jihadist attacked IDF soldiers with a car in Jerusalem (H/T: The Daily Wire):

At least 12 soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, in a suspected car-ramming terror attack in Jerusalem early Thursday morning, police and medics said.

The incident occurred shortly before 2 a.m. on Jerusalem’s David Remez Street near the First Station, a popular entertainment hub. Police said the driver of the vehicle fled the scene and “a large force of officers were carrying out searches.”

The car was later found abandoned in the town of Beit Jala outside Bethlehem, but the driver remained at large as of Thursday morning, police said. [...]

Magen David Adom medics said one of the wounded “was in a serious condition, unconscious and suffering major trauma.”

The culprit appears to have been caught:

Israeli security forces on Thursday evening arrested the suspected terrorist believed to have carried out a car-ramming attack that injured a dozen soldiers in Jerusalem earlier in the day, security officials said.

The arrest came as Golani Brigade soldiers run over in the attack went ahead with a swearing-in ceremony at the Western Wall, some of them on crutches after being released from the hospital.

The suspect was arrested at the Gush Etzion Junction in the central West Bank, police said. The Shin Bet said the suspect was a 25-year-old resident of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of A-Tur who had no history of terrorist activity. Channel 13 news reported the suspected attacker was Khaled al-Tourman, who has a flower shop in a Jerusalem shopping mall.

He was handed over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

A shop proprietor throws away his career and reputation for the sake of jihadism and antisemitism. And all because the Hamas, according to some of the reports, incited these latest horrors. Absolutely abominable.
