Another man in his 20s, a teenage boy and a man in his 60s were seriously wounded, and two others, including an elderly woman, were moderately hurt.

Israeli media identified the assailant as an Arab from Shuafat, in the eastern part of Jerusalem.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai visited the scene. A large security force was searching the area in case other terrorists were involved in the attack.

    I say enough is enough.
    This situation can no longer be tolerated.

    If “never again” is to have any meaning beyond being a campaign slogan that Western Jews can rally around and give speeches at a park, then martial law needs to be declared throughout Israel, with all its lethal consequences.

    To give a potential terrorist something to ponder over, then it should be mandatory that all his/her family members will, as sure as night follows day, be incarcerated for an indefinite period with strict curfews being imposed on the town the terrorist came from.

    No doubt, typical Leftist Jews reading these comments will babble on that this is not the “Jewish way” etc. etc. ad nauseam.
