Opuscula

Vehicles now Arabs'
"Weapons of choice"?

 

Recently Muslim terrorists in Israel seem to have traded bombs for vehicles.

A SAMPLING:

Reports began to trickle in Wednesday evening of a Palestinian terror attack against Israeli soldiers in which a car ran into a group of IDF troops, injuring three, less than 12 hours after a similar incident in Jerusalem that saw a Palestinian man drive into a throng of people at a bus stop, killing an Israeli Druze soldier and injuring more than a dozen others.

In many cases the attacks are "kamikaze" attacks - the terrorist driver dies at the scene, but only after murdering or injuring many.

Stealing a car or truck is less expensive, and much safer than making and delivering a bomb.

A Muslim behind the wheel of a car in Israel is commonplace, so the driver does not arouse suspicion as would a bomb-laden terrorist wearing a winter coat in the summer.

The attack may not be as dramatic as a bomb explosion, and it may not cause as many deaths or injuries, but it IS effective, especially when the victim is a three-month-old infant.
