Palestinians Hand Out Sweets to Celebrate Deadly Jerusalem Truck-Ramming Attack
by Algemeiner Staff
Palestinians took to the streets and social media on Sunday to celebrate the truck-ramming attack in Jerusalem in which 4 IDF soldiers were killed, Israel’s Channel 2 reported.
In the Gaza Strip, the ruling Hamas terror group praised the attack, calling it a “natural response to the Israeli occupier’s crimes” and proof that the “Jerusalem Intifada” was not over.
Since September 2015, Palestinian terrorists have killed 40 Israelis in an ongoing surge of violence.
A short time after Sunday’s attack — which was carried out by a resident of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber — people in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority-controlled West Bank were seen festively handing out sweets to mark the occasion.
