"Known Palestinian Terrorist" in Jerusalem Kills 3-Month-Old Baby; Brutally Injuring 8 others

Lea Speyer : Oct 23, 2014  Breaking Israel News

As if the tragedy of the death of a baby is not enough, Shimon Halperin, the girl's grandfather, told reporters on Wednesday that the baby's parents had tried for several years to have a child. He had just recently arrived to Israel from the US to meet his granddaughter for the first time. That day they had taken Braun to the Western Wall for the first time.

The baby, identified as Chaya Zissel Braun, was laid to rest late Wednesday evening. Among the eight injured were Israeli and US citizens.

The terrorist, Abdelrahman al-Shaludi, 21, hailed from the Silwan neighborhood and was shot by police when he attempted to flee the scene. He later died in the hospital.

Shaludi is the nephew of Mohiyedine Sharid, the former head of Hamas' armed wing and chief bomb-maker who was killed in 1988.

Shaludi was reportedly arrested and sentence to 16 months in an Israeli prison in February 2012. He was detained by Israeli security officials earlier this year for a month.

Shortly after the attack, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said it is time to "restore peace and security in Jerusalem."

"Today, more than ever, it is clear that we must send police forces into neighborhoods where there are disturbances, placing them strategically and widely in significant numbers," he said.

The US condemned the terror attacks but urged restraint from both Israel and the Palestinians.

"We express our deepest condolences to the family of the baby, reportedly an American citizen, who was killed in this despicable attack," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.

"We urge all sides to maintain calm and avoid escalating tensions in the wake of this incident."
