“Palestinian” Muslims open fire on Israeli civilians: At least 7 wounded, including a pregnant woman

Dec 10, 2018 7:46 am By Robert Spencer

And still the world will condemn not the “Palestinian” jihadis, but Israel.

“Shooting attack in Ofra: at least 7 wounded, including a pregnant woman,” by Elisha Ben Kimon and Yoav Zitun, Ynet News, December 9, 2018:

At least 7 people were shot from a passing Palestinian vehicle near Ofra junction: 21-year-old pregnant woman was seriously wounded, two men were moderately wounded and four were lightly wounded; IDF troops who were present nearby responded by firing towards the suspect vehicle, which fled.

At least seven people were wounded Sunday by gunfire shot from a passing Palestinian vehicle near Ofra Junction in the West Bank: a 21-year-old pregnant woman was seriously wounded; her husband and another victim were moderately wounded; and four 16-year-old teens were lightly wounded.

The shots were fired towards Israeli civilians who took part in a candle-lighting ceremony in memory of a car accident victim, at a bus station near the junction. IDF troops who were present nearby responded by firing towards the suspect vehicle, which fled.

IDF troops are currently searching the area. The Commanding Officer of the Judea and Samaria Division, Brig. Gen. Eran Niv, is present at the scene.

An initial investigation revealed that 15 minutes after the candle-lighting ceremony began, a Palestinian vehicle arrived at the entrance to Ofra, near the bus stop on Road 60. A terrorist who was sitting n the vehicle opened fire at the Israelis who were standing at the bus stop. An IDF force that was near the area, fired at the vehicle and apparently managed to hit the vehicle, before the terrorist managed to escape the scene.

The report was received by an MDA team at 9:25pm. MDA paramedics with the assistance of the IDF Medical Corps, provided medical treatment to the victims, which were later evacuated to hospitals in Jerusalem.

The pregnant woman, who was seriously wounded and suffered from gunshot wounds to her upper body, and another victim, a 21-year-old male who was moderately wounded, were evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Dr. Alon Schwarz, a trauma surgeon at Shaare Zedek Medical Center said that the doctors had delivered the young woman’s baby, and admitted the baby into the neonatal intensive care unit. Since the young woman lost a lot of blood, the doctor added, her life is still in danger….

    The funny thing is, Israel has quite strict gun control laws. I think these laws are pretty much a full-employment act for security personnel and the professional military. While not the same as the Second Amendment of the US, it’s actually a pretty functional system. Israel is a society under siege, so a corps of well-trained security professionals is not the worst thing in the world to have.

    Israel is criticized a lot for its treatment of the Palestinians and the Gaza inhabitants. But, the strongest mandate of morality is to protect your people. The only upside to incidents like this is that they are a constant reminder to Israelis to keep aliens out and to minimize hostile influence within Israel. Unfortunately, Muslims within the US have learned to keep a somewhat low profile, while burrowing into the political system. Apparently, the burrowing is far advanced in places like the UK, allowing Muslims to get away with horrific activities, taking advantage of the political and judicial cover-ups. A country that engages in global maneuvering and saber-rattling, while ignoring its internal security, is on the road to destruction.

    I’m sure the PA is searching for this would-be murderer too, so they can pay him his terror stipend.

    I say because I would like to hear what someone says:

    You do realize that Israel is condemned, and Palestinian violence justified, because Israel builds on land that it took in war, and which is therefore seen internationally as not Israel’s property. It is charged that Israel not only builds on that land, it expropriates, bulldozing houses, in order to build there.

    By continuing to occupy that land, Israel is deliberately withholding the national rights of the inhabitants, by expropriating there it is dispossessing lawful owners, and by building on it Israel is violating international law. So we are told.

    I hear these charges all the time. They are Gospel to anti-Zionists. As far as I know, they are false. Anyone have any thoughts?

    The IDF will duly find who did the shooting, kill him / her and then destroy the house of his family. That is a good thing. But still these Muslims fail to get it through their thick skull, that they are fighting a losing battle with the IDF and Israel will continue to be there. This Allah of theirs fools them with some cockeyed verses promising them some virgins and such like. How foolish they are.

    Father God in Heaven, Lord Jesus, you have all authority in Heaven and earth, please reach out and heal this mother and her baby, not by power or by might but by your Spirit! May she live to tell all that God can turn evil to good…..

    Update: the premature baby boy, who was delivered by emergency cesarean section at 30 weeks after his mother was shot and critically wounded by the terrorists, passed away today. The baby’s mother and father remain hospitalised; the mother is still in serious condition, though hopefully improving.
