Zeven doden bij aanval op yeshiva in Jeruzalem

 
In Gaza, Hamas welcomed the terrorist attack. "We bless the [Jerusalem] operation. It will not be the last," Hamas said in a statement.

In Gaza City, residents went out into the streets and fired rifles in celebration in the air after hearing news of the attack on the yeshiva.

 
NOVA meldde gisteren dat 'het kruidvat het Midden-Oosten weer in brand staat, en doden aan de ene kant leiden tot een feestje aan de andere kant'.
Pardon? Wanneer gaan Israëli's zingend de straat op om de dood van Palestijnse kinderen te vieren? Men gaat zelfs niet de straat op om de dood van terroristenleiders te vieren, mensen die tientallen en soms honderden doden op hun geweten hebben. Men ziet het als een noodzakelijk kwaad ze te doden en als onvermijdelijk dat daarbij ook burgerslachtoffers vallen, en nooit iets om verheugd over te zijn. Waar haalt NOVA deze abjecte nonsens vandaan??

Ah, men wil evenwichtig overkomen, en dan kan je natuurlijk niet vermelden dat alleen de Palestijnen de onhebbelijke gewoonte hebben doden aan Israëlische kant uitbundig te vieren. Overigens voelt men de behoefte evenwichtig te zijn nooit wanneer men over de talloze (vermeende) misstanden in de bezette gebieden bericht, en de ene na de andere Palestijn aan het woord komt om te vertellen hoe erg het allemaal is, of wanneer Van Agt weer eens alle ruimte krijgt, of tijdens een reportage over Mearsheimer en Walts 'studie' naar de macht van de Zionistische lobby in de VS.

[ Ami Isseroff, MewNews: Channel 1 now reports that the attack was carried out by 1 terrorist who brought a Kalatchnikov assault rifle in a box in addition to a suicide vest - a combined shooting and suicide bombing. It is also reported that the terrorist was a resident of East Jerusalem and the "Chofshiyey Hagalil" group claimed "credit." Note that Ha'aretz rarely uses the word "terrorist." An additional victim is in critical condition. A much larger number of victims are in shock or lightly wounded and are not counted in casualty figures as they have not reached hospitals as yet. ]

Seven students were killed and nine others were wounded Thursday evening when terrorists infiltrated the Mercaz Harav yeshiva in the Kiryat Moshe neighborhood in Jerusalem, police said.

One terrorist was also killed, according to police.

Three of the injured were listed as being in serious condition and taken to Hadassah Medical Center in Ein Karem, while the other six were lightly hurt and taken to Sha'arei Tzedek Medical Center. MDA declared the incident a "multiple casualty event."
At least one terrorist infiltrated the yeshiva, possibly armed with an explosive belt, and began firing in every direction.

Yitzhak Danon, a student at the yeshiva, told Channel 2 television that one terrorist entered the seminary's library, and fired for several minutes at students with a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

Danon said he shot the terrorist twice in the head.

Michael, another student who only gave his first name, said he saw a terrorist enter the complex, and fire for some 10 minutes. "He fired 500-600 bullets," he said, adding that most of those hurt were high school age.

Witnesses said about 80 people were gathered in the library.

A large number of security and emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene, with some 50 ambulances summoned.

Police and Israel Defense Forces troops were searching the complex in order to determine whether one of the terrorists was still holed up inside the yeshiva, and were also going house to house in the immediate area in search of third terrorist who may have fled.

Police are having a difficult time keeping crowds of onlookers away from the scene, despite concerns there are still explosive belts at the scene that have yet to be neutralized.

Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski told Channel 2 television, "It's very sad tonight in Jerusalem - many people were killed in the heart of Jerusalem."

"There was a lot of gunfire and hysteria," a woman who lives across the street from the school told the radio. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

In Gaza, Hamas welcomed the terrorist attack. "We bless the [Jerusalem] operation. It will not be the last," Hamas said in a statement.

In Gaza City, residents went out into the streets and fired rifles in celebration in the air after hearing news of the attack on the yeshiva.
