The dead person was later identified as 16-year-old Aryeh Shachopak of Har Nof, an American citizen. He was on his way to the Beit Meir yeshiva ketana with his friend Elchanan, who was also seriously injured. Please daven for Elchanan ben Livnat and Chaim Nachum ben Feiga Rivka.
A few moments later, another device exploded near the Ramot junction bus stop, lightly wounding three people. The bus stop, which is usually full of travellers at that time of day, was miraculously more empty after a number of buses had just departed with passengers.
Police placed roadblocks and raised the level of awareness, fearing more explosive devices hidden at other places. Police as well as special forces and Shin Bet operatives are also conducting a manhunt after the terrorists who apparently placed the booby-trapped devices and operated them remotely. Police say that both devices were from the same terrorist cell.
Initial details of the attack indicate that a suspect arrived at the bus stop at the entrance to Jerusalem and placed an explosive device on the fence near the stop. A short time later the device exploded.
An eyewitness said that “I arrived at the bus stop and immediately afterwards my bus arrived. The moment I got on there was a crazy explosion and everyone ran away. I didn’t notice anything and just ran.”
Four seriously injured people were transferred to Shaarei Tzedek hospital, one later succumbing to their wounds. Hadassah hospital reported 6 injured patients, five of whom were in light condition and one in moderate condition. Three lightly injured people were in Hadassah Har Hatzofim from the Ramot junction explosion. The injured were suffering from blast wounds as well as various types of traumatic injuries.
If you don’t take it back to
Them so the candy givers begin to feel it, it will never end, and they view it as weakness and as a victory over the Jews
The liberals are responsible for this. They don’t want to say that Jews have a right to be in Jerusalem, Shechem, Chevron, the Shomron and Arabs think that we are occupiers.
Brought to you by the policies of Joe Biden. Every Jew that voted for Biden is responsible keep that in mind
Revenge!!!!!! Destroy the whole village where these animals are from. If they are “citizens “ then deport their whole extended family to Gaza.
Let’s see if Biden will say anything now. Especially since the teen that was murdered is an American citizen whose family recently moved to Israel.
this is a result of weak governments like bennett and lapid who both had Hamas in their coalitions and a result of soldiers being afraid to kill terrorists as they dont want to be martyred to liberalism like was done to elor azaria.
Yes, we are truly the chosen people. We love being chosen.
