This is a frequent jihadi tactic. In this case, actually, it’s two frequent jihadi tactics. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

“Israel police kill Palestinian who launched van, stabbing attack,” AFP, April 22, 2020:
A Palestinian man was shot dead Wednesday after he hit an Israeli police officer with a van at a West Bank checkpoint and then stabbed him with a pair of scissors, police said.
A pipe bomb was found at the scene which the attacker had apparently intended to hurl at the officers, police said….
A video published online showed the van hitting the officer and the driver getting out and chasing him with a sharp object in his hands.
Other officers at the checkpoint then opened fire on the man, who initially kept running.
“The terrorist drove his vehicle into the border policeman that was on duty,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said in an English-language statement, saying the attacker then stabbed the officer with a pair of scissors.
“The terrorist was shot and killed,” Rosenfeld said.
The Palestinian health ministry confirmed the dead man was a Palestinian, naming him as 25-year-old Ibrahim Halaseh.
The attack took place near the Jewish West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim and the Palestinian neighbourhood of Abu Dis, on the outskirts of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.
Residents said Halaseh hailed from the Palestinian village of Sawahera close to the checkpoint….

Same old same old.
Have Islam in your midst as Israel certainly does? Well then, it is only a matter of time and degree before you have heinous actions by believers in the worst religion of all time.
No defense of Islam can stand up to informed scrutiny. Any good that is in Islam (ain’t much if any at all) can be found elsewhere in other religions and ethical systems and yet there is so much malevolence uniquely inherent in Islamic theology (e.g., death for apostasy as demonstrated by Sura 4:89 in the Koran and by 9.84.57 in the Bukhari Hadith) that can’t be found in other religious/ethical systems. So, what the hell is the point in keeping Islam around at all?
I submit (most certainly NOT meant in an Islamic way) that there is none. Mankind would be so much better off were every Muslim to wake up tomorrow a Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Taoist, agnostic, atheist, etc.—yes, it is a very long list of what would be better than being a Muslim and stands as a monumental indictment of Islam—and one knows this by now or should know it.

Response: Islam has no good in it for non-Muslim kafirs. Islamic charity is bestowed only upon fellow Muslims.
Islam’s hate-filled doctrine Al Walaa wal Baraa is firmly supported by the Koran. Over 60% of the Koran is a libellous discussion of the kafir (a ‘wrong worshiper’).
The Koran is mostly a book of bigotry that dehumanizes the ‘other’. What good comes from that?
Michael Copeland says
GIVE ME ONE THING
“Could someone then please tell me how it is that all the western countries developed long before now without the need for Muslims or Islam in them? What element in our societies are we missing that we would need anything from Islam?
Please, someone, give me one thing that Islam offers. Just one redeeming quality of the teachings of Muhammad and the injunctions of Allah that would be essential for our western culture and could possibly add to society.”

Well they do say “don’t take intoxicants” “let someone lick your fingers after eating” ” Drink camel piss” (A good cure-all) “okay to have sex with little children”. Prophet Mo did.
A few to be getting on with.

Islamonavirus is a lethal disease that causes the brain to shrink, gives a false superiority to the person who starts a hateful destructive campaign towards those who do not accept his/her delusional system.

The so-called ‘religion of peace’ is responsible for an awful lot of stabbings? Could that be inspired by the Koran?
Koran 8:12 : [Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”
Islamic scholarly interpretation:
Koran 8:12 “Strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers.”
(Allah will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied his command and denied Muhammad—ibn Kathir); smite the unbelievers at their necks (i.e., behead the unbelievers—ibn Kathir) and cut off their fingers (cut off their heads, limbs, hands and feet—ibn Kathir. Terror means fear of Muhammad and his companions—ibn Abbas).

MUSLIMS CAN GAIN MORE PARADISE POINTS FOR TERRORISM DURING RAMADAN …
-The commandment of JIHAD, which is of SUPREME importance at all times, assumes even GREATER IMPORTANCE during this holy month and GAINS PRECEDENCE over all other commandments.
-Those who gain martyrdom during the month of Ramadan are DOUBLY REWARDED in Paradise.
-During Ramadan, the Muslims are especially beholden to protect the sanctity of the Muslim holy places and keep the infidels from “desecrating” or threatening them.
-in Ramadan, Allah grants fighters SPECIAL STRENGTH, despite – or rather by virtue of – their fasting.
“Education for fasting has not been limited to PREPARING Muslims FOR BATTLE and imbuing them with the meaning of soldiering, but also included WAGING a number of honorable BATTLES during the month of Ramadan – to the point where this month came to be called ‘The Month of JIHAD.’ ” – Egyptian cleric and Al-Azhar lecturer Dr. Fuad Mukheimar.
