Terrorists’ Hometown Celebrates Jerusalem Massacre

(JNS.org) Residents of Jabel Mukaber, the hometown of the perpetrators of Tuesday’s synagogue attack, celebrated the attack and expressed pride in the actions of their native sons. The terrorists, cousins Rasan and Oudai Abu Jamal, were shot dead by security forces after their bloody assault that killed four Jewish worshippers and a Druze police officer and injured seven others. “We are proud of what they did,” said one family member of the terrorists. “They are heroic martyrs.” The celebrations quickly turned into violent disturbances, with rioters throwing stones and other objects at police stationed in the area.

Wounded Temple Mount Activist Speaks Out

(JNS.org) Jewish Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yehudah Glick, who was seriously wounded in an Oct. 29 shooting attempt on his life, stated, “I am not in the hospital because I had appendicitis. I am not here because I was shot for being a redhead. I am here because someone thought they would attack Israel,” Glick told Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel David Lau, who visited him at Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem. “[The attacker] came up to me and stood in front of me. I, in my naivete, did not suspect anything. He said to me, ‘I am very sorry but you are an enemy of Al-Aqsa,’ and then he shot me,” said Glick.

Israeli Druze Policeman Succumbs  to Wounds from Shul Attack

(JNS.org) Advanced Staff Sgt. Maj. Zidan Saif, a 30-year-old Israeli Druze policeman, died in the hospital Tuesday night from injuries he suffered during a shootout with the terrorists who carried out Tuesday’s synagogue attack in the Har Nof neighborhood of Jerusalem. Saif is the fifth fatality in the attack.

Saif was among the first two police officers to arrive at the scene of the slaughter, and one of three policemen credited with quelling the attack and preventing further injuries and death. He and another traffic officer arrived first, followed by a forensics officer. The two traffic officers approached the entrance to the synagogue and carried out a gun battle with the two terrorists.

Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Moafaq Tarif said that many Druze serve in the Israeli security forces and work on a daily basis to eliminate terror risks for Israel. “We are proud of our sons who fearlessly fight against terror attacks,” he said, according to Israel Hayom.

“It is a black day for Israeli society and the state of Israel when citizens are murdered for being Jewish,” said Tarif. “The Druze people condemn this disgusting act of terror in which Palestinian terrorists slaughtered and massacred innocent citizens. We cannot allow the citizens of this country to be murdered on a daily basis.”
