Another Day of Horror in Jerusalem as Dozens Killed or Wounded in Terrorist Attack

Chris Mitchell : Oct 13, 2015  CBN News

"You have to understand that terrorism, this kind of terrorism, is not just a Jerusalem problem. It's not just an Israeli problem. It's an international problem." –Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat

(Israel)—[CBN News] Several terror attacks hit Israelis again Tuesday as Palestinian Arabs declared a "Day of Rage." The attacks in Jerusalem and Ra'anana, a city in central Israel, left at least two dead and more than 20 wounded. (Screengrab via CBN News)

CBN News reported live from a terror attack against passengers on a city bus in the latest and largest terror attack in the recent wave of violence. What began as an ordinary bus ride suddenly turned violent and deadly.

Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told CBN News two terrorists, one armed with a handgun and the second with a knife, carried out the attack.

"What took place here in Armon HaNatiz in a relatively quiet neighborhood, two terrorists carried out an attack on a bus," Rosenfeld explained. "One of them was armed with a pistol, the second one with a knife. They injured five Israelis. What we confirmed is that our police units arrived on the scene and shot and killed one of the terrorists; the other terrorist was apprehended."

Israeli first responder Aaron Adler was one of the first to arrive at the attack.

"When I arrived on the scene there was actually still shooting on the scene on the bus right there behind us, with multiple gunshot wound(s) (to) victims inside the bus," Adler told CBN News. "Together with other crews we pulled them out and started life-saving treatments, whatever we could do to try saving their lives."

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat blames Palestinian incitement. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas began the incitement last month when he said the al-Aksa Mosque was in danger and that the Israeli government was changing the status quo on the Temple Mount.

"Which is not true; which is a lie. It's a filthy lie," Barkat said. "However, the residents—some of the residents—believe those lies and those incitements are sending people to kill innocent people."

"We've just seen in the past few days, children, high school children that are incited, that go and try and terrorize and kill policemen," he said. "They don't return home. They themselves get killed. Incitement kills on both sides." Some Israelis are concerned they're on the verge of a third intifada, a word that means uprising. The first intifada took place in the late 80s and early 90s and the second from 2000 to 2004. (Screengrab via CBN News)

The latest wave of violence has shaken Israelis.

"We are terrified. And the world thinks what we do, we are not just with the Arabs," an Israeli woman named Rosa told CBN News. "They have ID like I do and they kill us." It's hard. It's not a good situation, but we do what we can," Adler explained. "We believe in what we do and we know the purpose behind it. We understand the calling."

Meanwhile, Barkat says this is a wakeup call for the nations.

"Now the experience we are going through in this city will haunt the rest of the world in a few years from now," he predicted. "You have to understand that terrorism, this kind of terrorism, is not just a Jerusalem problem. It's not just an Israeli problem. It's an international problem," he said.

"And if you don't understand and support us in fighting terrorism here, the phase will happen everywhere else in the world," Barkat said.
