4 people murdered by Hamas supporters at Jerusalem entrance road
Four people, including a young pregnant woman, were killed and at least six more were wounded when Hamas terrorists opened fire at a bus stop in Jerusalem Thursday morning, according to police. The terror attack took place after Hamas had promised to abide by a temporary ceasefire.So here, we have another tragedy where a pregnant woman was marked for death by jihadists, and it's all made even more atrocious when one considers that security was not as good as it could've been in that part of the city.
At around 7:40 a.m. local time, two Palestinian gunmen jumped out of a vehicle at the bus stop near a main entrance to the capital city and fired at the people waiting for the bus, The Times of Israel reported. The terrorists were shot dead at the scene after two off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian returned fire. The Shin Bet security agency said the terrorists were brothers and members of Hamas who had previously been jailed for terrorist activity.
Surveillance footage showed the two Hamas members jump out of their vehicle and immediately start shooting into the crowd at the bus stop. Within seconds, three people surround the terrorists and return fire, killing them at the scene. The terrorists used an M-16 rifle and a handgun and police found a large amount of ammunition when they searched the brothers’ vehicle, according to The Times of Israel.
Livia Dickman, a 24-year-old woman who was pregnant with her first child, was declared dead at the scene of the terror attack, while Ashdod rabbinical judge Elimelech Wasserman, 73, and Hannah Ifergan, a woman in her 60s, were declared dead at the hospital. Two others taken to the hospital were in serious condition, three were listed as in moderate condition, and a sixth was in good condition, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.
