A Palestinian man commandeered a construction vehicle along Jaffa Road in Jerusalem on July 2. He drove the vehicle onto the road, smashing cars and even overturning a bus, killing at least three and injuring dozens more. The attack diverges greatly from previous suicide attacks or shootings in Israel, showing that the Palestinians are innovative in their attempts to get at Israel.
Jabr Duwait, a resident of East Jerusalem employed by a Jerusalem construction company, drove a front-end loader through traffic in the middle of the afternoon on July 2. Using the vehicle’s shovel, he rammed cars and even knocked a bus over before an off-duty Israeli soldier climbed into the vehicle’s cab and shot him. The event took place across the street from the Associated Press bureau in Jerusalem, ensuring plenty of press coverage and video recordings of the attack.
