A terrorist drove a car through a large group of people at a train station in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, killing one and severely wounding multiple others.

Terrorist group Hamas called the attacker “heroic” and called for “more such … operations.” He was killed shortly after the attack, according to Israel Hayom.

Border Police officers who were in the area pursued the terrorist, who eventually emerged from his vehicle carrying a metal bar and tried to attack security personnel before being shot and killed. […]

The attacker was identified as Ibrahim al-Akri, a resident of east Jerusalem’s Shuafat neighborhood. Akri’s affiliation with Hamas was known to the defense establishment.

Wednesday’s attack took place near the site of a similar attack two weeks ago, in which two people, a baby girl and a woman from Ecuador, were killed when an Arab terrorist intentionally slammed his car into a crowd at the Ammunition Hill light rail station. The terrorist, identified as Silwan resident Abed al-Rahman Shaludi, was killed by security forces as he tried to flee the scene.
