An Arab Terrorist armed with a Kalashnikov Rifle and a bomb vest infiltrated the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva library tonight at 20:40, and opened automatic fire in all directions at the scores of rabbinical students there. After several minutes, 40-year-old Rabbi Yitzchak Dadon, shot the attacker in the head with his personal weapon. David Shapira, a graduate, heard the shots from his nearby home, ran to the yeshiva and "finished [the terrorist] off."
The Terrorist was resident of the south Jerusalem suburb and was an Israeli citizen. His bomb vest did not detonate.
Once again armed civilians managed to prevent a terrorist from killing many more.
Schools should always allow legally armed civilians on campus to act as a deterrent and to protect the unarmed.
Current reports, six dead, more injured, and a tragedy was prevented.

This is an awful tragedy, even if it could have been worse.
ReplyDeleteThe following will not likely be reported by the media outside of Israel:
"In Gaza City, Arab residents went out into the streets and fired rifles in the air in celebration of the attack against the Jews of Jerusalem."
