Netanyahu: ISIS behind for Israel truck attack in Jerusalem, FOUR DEAD, 14 injured #Nice #Berlin #OSU

Nice, Ohio State University, Berlin ….. now. Vehicular jihad has been exhorted by the Islamic State – cheap, easy and deadly. And devout Muslims around the world have responded and acted.

‘I heard my soldiers screaming and shouting.

‘I saw a truck that went on the side of the road. Soldiers starting shooting… There were orders and screaming everywhere. They told them to hide behind the wall because there was fear of another attack.

‘There was no sense in that reverse. He drove backward to crush more people. That was really clear.’

Emergency medical forces declared this a mass casualty incident with more over a dozen wounded, some seriously.

Savages slaughtering in the cause of Allah. Peace is not possible until the Muslim world expunges Islamic Jew-hatred from its texts and teachings.

ISIS blamed for Israel attack: Horrifying moment a truck driver mows down soldiers in Jerusalem, killing four and injuring 15, before being shot dead at the wheel in copycat of Berlin massacre

• Four Israelis soldiers have been killed and 15 wounded in a terrorist truck attack in Jerusalem
• The victims had disembarked a bus on a sightseeing tour when the truck driver veered into them  
• Israeli police confirmed the suspected terrorist had been ‘neutralised’ 
• Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said ISIS is to blame but provided no further details  

A Palestinian has rammed a truck into a group of Israeli soldiers visiting a popular tourist spot in Jerusalem, killing four and wounding at least 15 people, in a shocking copycat of the Berlin and Nice terror massacres.

Shocking video from the scene shows the driver reversing back over the soldiers, trapping ten under his wheels, during the sickening attack on Sunday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alleged the attacker ‘supported’ the Islamic State group, though he provided no details on what led to the finding.

Speaking at the scene of the attack, Mr Netanyahu said the attacker has been identified and ‘according to all the signs he was a supporter of the Islamic State.’

He says there ‘definitely could be a connection’ between Sunday’s attack, which killed four Israeli soldiers, and recent attacks in France and Germany.

The killer reversed this white truck, which is pictured riddled with bullets, over the soldiers to ensure he killed as many as possible

The terrorist was shot dead by Israeli forces at the location overlooking holy sites in the Old City such as the Dome of the Rock and providing one of the most spectacular views of Jerusalem.

Chaos broke out at the scene when the truck ploughed through the crowd, with hundreds of soldiers having arrived there as part of a tour for troops about the history of Jerusalem.

‘A lone terrorist drove his truck into a group of soldiers standing on the side of the road,’ police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told reporters at the scene.

‘They got off the bus, and as they were getting off the bus and getting organised, he took advantage.’

Israel’s military said one of its soldiers fired on the attacker and distributed video of him saying he shot after realising it was not an accident.

Multiple bullet holes could be seen in the windshield of the truck.

Police only confirmed four people were dead, but a medic at the scene said they were soldiers.

Medics also reported that three of the victims were women, while all four were in their 20s.

Netanyahu says Israel has blockaded Jabel Mukaber, the east Jerusalem neighborhood where the truck driver lived, and is planning other measures to prevent similar attacks.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the driver was killed by Israeli forces.

 The driver sped through the soldiers giving them no chance of escaping from his truck

Israeli police confirmed this morning’s  incident was a deliberate terrorist attack

Four people have been killed and at least 15 were wounded after a truck attack in Jerusalem

The group of solider were standing beside the bus on some grass when the truck bounced into the air onto the promenade and drove through the victims without warning.

The killer then stood on his brakes and reversed, trapping some ten of his victims under the truck. 

Some of the surviving soldiers managed to jump clear and opened fire, riddling the cab of the truck killing the killer.

An instructor accompanying the soldiers said he killed the terrorist.

It is understood the soldiers fired at least 18 rounds at the terrorist, who is believed to be from an Arab area of east Jerusalem.

The soldiers were on a cultural sightseeing tour of the city when they were attacked.

Tour guide Lea Schreiber said: ‘I heard my soldiers screaming and shouting.

‘I saw a truck that went on the side of the road. Soldiers starting shooting… There were orders and screaming everywhere. They told them to hide behind the wall because there was fear of another attack.

‘There was no sense in that reverse. He drove backward to crush more people. That was really clear.’
