Terrorist attacks with Ford van near Maale Adumim checkpoint, victim survives
A jihadist driving an older model of the Ford Transit rammed a guard at the Abu Dis checkpoint near the Maale Adumim, and the guard amazingly managed to resist the impact enough while the perpetrator was stopped:
A Border Patrol officer was stabbed at the Kiosk checkpoint near Abu Dis, an Arab village on Jerusalem’s border. The officer sustained minor to moderate injuries and remained conscious.The victim was lucky. Here's some more details:
The CCTV recording of the event makes one wonder about the state of readiness of the officer, but that’s a different discussion altogether.
It is suspected that the terrorist drove his car at the officer, hit him, and then came out and stabbed him. The other officers on the scene fired at the terrorist and hit him.
A pipe bomb was found at the scene. The officers closed off the area and a sapper was summoned.
The officer, 20, was injured in his upper body and was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Hospital.
In the security camera footage, a white van can be seen approaching the check point and veering onto the sidewalk and hitting the officer, who got up onto the hood of the van and then fell briefly to the ground. Then, the Palestinian driver then got out of the van and attempted to stab him with a pair of scissors.There's another jihadist who can roast in hell for worshiping a violent religion and ideology, and causing so much trouble through desensitization to violence.
The two men struggled, with the Palestinian attempting to stab the officer, who repeatedly thwarted him. The officer can then be seen running away from the checkpoint as the Palestinian chased after him and jumped on him from behind.
Other officers at the scene raced after them and shot the terrorist, killing him. He was identified as 25-year-old Mohammed Halsa from the village of a-Sawahra.
