Commentary:
According to an updated Jerusalem Post report, since the original report came out on this latest tractor terrorist attack; certain other salient facts regarding the tractor terror attack have come to light:
The attacker – later identified as Mar’i al-Rdaidah, 26, from the capital’s northeastern Beit Hanina neighborhood – reached the intersection near Teddy Stadium and managed to push the police patrol car for about 30 meters, police said. He pushed the police vehicle into the bus, but his momentum was apparently stopped by the bus and an electrical post pinned between the police car and the bus.The bus was full of girls dressed in Purim costumes en route to cheer up patients at Hadassah hospital, according to the Zaka rescue and recovery service.
Police, Magen David Adom and Zaka personnel streamed to the scene within minutes.
