JERUSALEM, Israel – Israel is continuing its crackdown on two Palestinian villages a day after an apparent lone-wolf terrorist murdered three Israeli security personnel near Jerusalem. But what motivated him to carry out the attack while entering the place where he worked?
Nimr al-Jamal was on his way from Beit Souric where he lived to the neighboring Jewish community of Har Adar when he opened fire on security personnel, killing three and critically wounding a fourth.
Har Adar residents were shocked.
“They have all the rights like the Israelis and they betrayed big time,” Har Adar Council member Anat Knafo told CBN News.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blames Palestinian incitement in the media, school books and society.
