Muslim bloggers are already calling the dead terrorist “The Hero of the Day”
What a surprise. Another Pali-terrorist jumps into a tractor in Jerusalem and goes on a bulldozer spree of killing anyone in his path. If you don’t recall, there were 2 other bull dozer attacks in 2008 inside Jerusalem committed by a crazed Muslim.
Check these from last year:

Israel Matzav has all the details.
This is City of Jerusalem surveillance video of Thursday’s terror attack.
For those who don’t speak Hebrew, you will see the bulldozer approach from the far left of your screen. It will disappear from view momentarily, and then you will see it push a police car (which had been dealing with a traffic accident) across the traffic lane. It tried to push the police car into the bus sitting at the traffic light (which was full of kids), but a light pole got in the way.
The police get out of their car (miraculously) and shoot at the terrorist. The taxi driver who shot the terrorist stops his cab, gets out and shoots.
They repeat the scene several times, so if you miss it once, you will see it the next time.
Here’s the survellience video of the attack:
Carl has more:
Thankfully, this time a taxi driver shot and wounded the terrorist immediately, and only two police officers – whose car was flipped over by the bulldozer – were lightly wounded.
Two police officers were wounded in Jerusalem shortly after 1:00 p.m. when an Arab-driven tractor plowed into their vehicle. The officers, though hurt, fired at the terrorist, as did a civilian, and the terrorist was mortally wounded.
Details are still sparse, but it appears that the terrorist first tried to ram into a bus, which was empty at the time. He then turned his attention to the policemen. Other reports say the terrorist pushed the police vehicle into the bus, and then tried to hit other vehicles when he was shot.[...]
The civilian was a taxi driver, and according to Israel Radio (which interviewed him), he shot the terrorist first. The taxi driver told Israel Radio that he shot the terrorist four times, critically wounding him.
Here’s the Reuter video report:
Ynet has the whole story:
A tractor plowed into a police squad car on Menachem Begin Boulevard in Jerusalem on Thursday. The driver was apparently also trying to hit a nearby bus, but missed.
Two police officers were in the car when it was hit and both sustained mild injuries. Other police officers patrolling nearby shot the terrorist.
Magen David Adom emergency services were immediately dispatched to the area. The paramedics treated both the injured officers and the tractor driver, who reportedly sustained severe injuries.
One of the police officers and the terrorist were taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. The other police officer was taken to the capital’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center. The tractor driver, later identified as Mir’i Radeideh, 26, from the Beit Hanina neighborhood in east Jerusalem, died of his wounds.
Jerusalem District Police Commander Nissan Shaham recapped the event: “At approximately 1:10 pm we received a report of a terror attack taking place at Menachem Begin Boulevard. A Jerusalem Highway Patrol car was first to arrive at the scene and saw the bulldozer attempt to crush the police car and then lift it up.
“The officers shot the terrorist and neutralized him. Seconds later, a cab driver who pulled over fired as well, as did another police officer who arrived at the scene, and a force volunteer. The driver was critically injured, taken off the tractor and rushed to a nearby hospital, where he later died of his wounds. We found an open Quran book in the driver’s compartment.”
Shaham also said that following the event, the police have compiled a list of all bulldozer owners and licensed drivers in the capital’s area, adding that “this is not the kind of attack we can anticipate to thwart in advance,” he said.
Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen later added that “this event ended as well as it could have, with only two injured officers. In the next few hours we will be able to say where the terrorist came from.”
Meanwhile, Gaza’s Hamas rulers praised Thursday’s bulldozer attack in Jerusalem as a “natural response” to Israel’s demolition of Palestinian homes in Arab east Jerusalem and to the Jewish state’s offensive in the Gaza Strip: “The operation in Jerusalem was a natural response to aggression against our people. The Zionist enemy should realize that they alone bear the responsibility for displacing our people in Jerusalem and for the killings in Gaza and the West Bank,” said Mushir al-Masri, a senior Hamas official.
Third of its kind
Three schoolgirls who witnessed the events were treated for shock. “This was nothing short of a miracle,” Haim Weingarten of Zaka (Disaster Victim Identification), told Ynet. “The terrorist was apparently aiming for the bus, but a power pole that had fallen on the road stopped it.”“I was about 100 yard away from (the attack) and I could see this tractor run amuck. It looked like it would also hit a bus that was in the intersection. Then it seemed to turn and go after the police car,” eyewitness Sunny Benyamini told Ynet.
