A truck rammed into pedestrians in Jerusalem on a popular promenade overlooking the walled Old City of Jerusalem on Sunday, injuring at least 15 people, police and the ambulance service said, calling it a deliberate attack.

"It is a terrorist attack, a ramming attack," a police spokeswoman said on Israel Radio, which reported that bodies were "strewn on the street". The radio said the driver of the vehicle was shot.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said some 15 people were hurt and at least two were seriously injured.

Dang rental trucks. There ought to be a law. Certainly this had nothing to do with the religion of pieces? Probably triggered by john' f'n kohn-heinz-kerry's statement about Jerusalem and moving the embassy there causing an issue.

So, the dead aren’t really dead? Soldiers/pedestrians aren’t people? Early reports are often lacking in details so I guess I pulled a “lyin’ king” and jumped the gun. Updates as they come in.

And liberal snowflakes are saying that moving our embassy to Jerusalem will provoke unrest. Yep.

LeMonde is reporting that there were four deaths, at this tourist site called the Haas Promenade.

Knowing them, LeMonde counts the terrorist attacker who was shot as one of the dead as though he were a victim.

RIP to the three soldiers, probably young kids just out of high school.

your fake news headline only discredits you. Your response only confirms your fibbing. You knew they were soldiers in uniform. There are at least 4 stories posted on FR describing the casualties as soldiers.

“MY” fake headline? Sorry if I offered up a headline that I didn’t write from an article I didn’t write. And what cause am I trying to push? That some assclown killed some people using what appears to be a new weapon of choice? Sounds like you need to back off the coffee this morning.

The soldiers were on foot, therefore, they were pedestrians.

Who has a cause here? Do you? If you don’t like the headline, which was totally accurate, complain to Townhall.

YNet is reporting that it was three female soldiers killed and one male, all in their 20s.

At least there is a silver lining, "The terrorist was shot and neutralized by several armed civilians and two soldiers who were on the scene."
