Shooting Of Bulldozer Terrorist Captured On Video

The latest news from Ynet reveals that the heroic two who took out the bulldozer terrorist earlier today (in the second attack of it's kind over the past few weeks) in East Jerusalem were a middle aged settler and a Druze border guard. The final moments of the attack were captured on video which can be found by following the link below (through the picture or link);

The Jerusalem bulldozer attack Tuesday afternoon left 18 people wounded but could have been much worse had it not been for the quick reaction of settler Yaakov Asael and Border Guard officer Amal Ganem, who shot and killed the terrorist. The last moments of the incident were captured on video.

The video shows Ganem fire at the terrorist from one side of the bulldozer. In the backdrop a man is heard saying "is there anyone here who can provide first aid? There's somebody wounded here."

Ganem is then seen moving over to the other side of the bulldozer, while an eyewitness tells him that the driver is still alive: "He's not dead, he's dead." Ganem then aims his weapon and fires several bullets, bringing the incident to an end.

The camera then shifts to a religious man who is asked for his name by the photographer. The man replies "Yaki Asael" and the photographer replies "Yaki, you were the first one to fire. Way to go." Asael gives the thumbs up signal and walks away modestly, without taking credit for shooting the terrorist.

Officer Ganem, who is Druze, said later that as opposed to the previous bulldozer attack he refrained from climbing on the vehicle and instead fired from several feet away. "The lesson from the previous attack was not to mount the bulldozer…I improved my position and fired at him," he said.

"After I fired and saw that he was neutralized, I attempted to open the bulldozer's doors, but apparently the terrorist also learned some lessons from the previous attack and locked the doors," Ganem added. "I then mounted the bulldozer, broke the windshield, and opened the door. I saw that he was no longer alive, so I didn't fire again."

Meanwhile, Druze community leader Sheikh Muafiek Tarif said: "The Druze sect has showen its loyalty to the State of Israel for years now. Today, the resourcefulness of Amal Ganem, a Druze community member, proved our loyalty to the State of Israel. Ganem, who acted quickly and without hesitation in order to prevent further casualties, is a model to thousands of young Druze who have acted and are acting on behalf of the State of Israel."

It's probably worth noting that the Druze leader whose speech is mentioned in the last paragraph is likely trying to counter some of the bad press the Druze would have received over the last week or so after the release of Samir Kuntar who is also Druze, but of Lebanese origin.

In this case, I'd say there is no need to counter. Ganem's loyal actions speak for themselves.
