Raadseltje: een man (vermoedelijk een Arabier) valt een bewaker aan in Jeruzalem, pakt zijn wapen af en schiet hem ermee in zijn schouder. Een tweede bewaker rent achter de man aan, en er ontstaat een vuurgevecht waarin de aanvaller omkomt. Hierbij raakten 10 omstanders gewond. Wat is de reactie van Palestijnse kant?
Mustafa Al Barghouthi, the secretary-general of the Palestinian national initiative, condemned the killing, saying "This incident just confirms the enormity of Israeli crimes perpetrated against the Palestinians."
Misschien hadden de beide bewakers, en alle omstanders, onmiddelijk op de grond moeten gaan liggen? Of met hun handen omhoog voor de aanvaller gaan staan?

Ten people were wounded, three moderately and seven lightly, during a shooting attack Friday morning in Jerusalem's Old City.
The assailant, who has yet to be identified, was shot and killed by a security guard.
The attack took place near the Old City's Ateret Cohanim yeshiva in the Christian Quarter.
The assailant was walking with a friend on Hanotsrim Street near Jaffa Gate, when he attacked a security guard, managing to take his gun. He then shot the guard, moderately wounding him in his shoulder.
The attacker then fled the scene, running down Avtimos Street. Another guard ran after the man, and nine bystanders were wounded, four from ricochets, in the ensuing gunfight. Five people were wounded by the attacker's gunfire, according to Israel Radio.
A witness told Israel Radio that even after it was clear that the man had been killed, the guard continued shooting, causing additional injuries.
However, police sources said that cameras stationed in the Old City caught the incident on film, and indicated that the guard acted professionally and appropriately.
Security sources said the attacker was approximately 20 years old, and carried no identification. Police and the Shin Bet security service are attempting to locate his family.
Magen David Adom emergency medical teams arrived at the scene to treat the wounded and evacuate them to Jerusalem hospitals.
Following the incident, police raised the alert level ahead of Friday prayers in the Old City.
Police Commissioner Dudu Cohen said at the scene, "East Jerusalem security is at its maximum level, and people can come visit."
