Attack
A 21 year old terrorist, Adbel-Rahman Shaloudi, from the Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, is believed to have, deliberately drove his father's car at high speed into the crowd waiting at a Jerusalem light rail station. Israel identified him as a Hamas member, and police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld stated that, "this was a terrorist attack. The driver ... is a resident of Silwan and has a terrorist background. He has served time in jail for terror activity." The driver was shot dead as he attempted to flee the scene.
Victims
22-year-old Karen Mosquera, a recent immigrant from Ecuador and a convert to Judaism, was critically injured and died on October 26. Her mother and sister traveled to Jerusalem to be with her in the hospital, her father joined them for the funeral.
3-month-old Chaya Zissel Braun, who held both American and Israeli citizenship.
Part of a trend
The attack is one in a series of violent Palestinian attacks on civilians in the summer and fall of 2014 being described by some as a new intifada.
