On
Saturday night, Oct 3, a Palestinian, Muhannad Halabi, attacked a family as they
walked in the old city, killing the father, seriously wounding the mother and injuring
their 2-year-old toddler before proceeding to stab to death man another Israeli
man who tried to stop the attack.
Adele
Banita, whose husband Aharon was killed and her 2-year-old child wounded in
that attack, described the horrific assault.
She
told Israeli media that she felt something in her back and then saw the
Palestinian assailant stabbing her husband before turning round to stab her
again. “There were lots of Arabs around looking ... laughing and smiling,” she
said.
After
she tried to help her husband she said she ran for help. Palestinian onlookers
“spat at me and slapped me in the face. While the knife was still stuck in me
they slapped me and laughed at me.”

She
said she pleaded with them to help her 2-year-old child and was told by the
onlookers to “die.”
Security
forces were able to shoot the terrorist.
Hours
later, A Palestinian teenager stabbed and moderately wounded a 15-year-old
Israeli early Sunday morning in Jerusalem before being shot dead by an Israeli
officer. Relatives identified the teen as Fadi Alloun, 19. A day earlier he
wrote on his Facebook page: “Either martyrdom or victory.”
The
Palestinian Authority has not condemned these terror attacks. On the the
contrary, it’s condemned Israel for killing the terrorists. (More here.)
The
stabbings were the latest in a series of deadly Palestinian attacks. On
Thursday, Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli couple in front of their
children as they drove in the West Bank.
An
Israeli died when his car was pelted with stones last month and there have been
numerous incidents of Palestinians attacking Israelis and throwing stones at
passing vehicles.
These
attacks have been encouraged by the Palestinian leadership – including the
supposedly moderate Chairman Abbas of the Palestinian Authority.
"The Al-Aqsa [Mosque] is ours,”
Abbas said. “And they [the Jews] have no right to defile it with their filthy
feet. We will not allow them to, and we will do everything in our power to
protect Jerusalem."
In his speech, parts of which were
broadcast on official PA TV and posted on his personal website, Abbas also
glorified Palestinians fighting against Israel in Jerusalem who are killed in
the fighting. Abbas promised that Allah will reward those who will not allow
Jews to defile Jerusalem:
"We bless every drop of blood that
has been spilled for Jerusalem, which is clean and pure blood, blood spilled
for Allah, Allah willing. Every Martyr (Shahid) will reach Paradise, and
everyone wounded will be rewarded by Allah."
