5 people murdered by jihadist in Bnei Brak

More of the disaster enabled by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid has taken place, this time in the Haredi burg of Bnei Brak:
Five Israelis were reported murdered Tuesday night in a multi-site terrorist shooting attack on Hashnayim Street in the haredi religious city of Bnei Brak.

A 40-year-old man, the fifth victim, was reported to be in critical condition, and evacuated to nearby Beilinson Medical Center.

According to United Hatzalah founder Eli Beer, five people are dead — but it is not clear if that figure includes one of the terrorists. The first attack took place on Bialik Street, where three people were shot. The attacker then continued to fire at people on the street, shooting two more people on Herzl Street, on the corner of Jabotinsky.

The terrorist, who was riding a motorcycle, was reportedly shot and killed on Megadim Street, in nearby Ramat Gan, by a police officer.
What matters is that political incompetence has led to more racially motivated murders that did not have to be. It's abominable, and it's not going to reflect well upon Bennett/Lapid at all. Why, their dealings with Anthony Blinken have practically led to this as well. On which note, a deputy Jerusalem mayor asked Blinken exit:
Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Arieh King on Monday called on U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to leave the city, saying he was “unwelcome” there and that his presence was “creating a bad feeling.” [...]

King, a right-wing politician, was appointed deputy mayor in 2020. He is the founder of the Israel Land Foundation, which works to purchase Arab-owned property in Israel, and has been active in legal efforts to reclaim Jewish-owned land in eastern Jerusalem, including the neighborhood of Shimon Hatzadik. His home in the city’s Maaleh Zeitim neighborhood has been repeatedly attacked by Arabs, including with firebombs.
That too is very serious, and Democrats like Blinken are not improving the situation. It would be in the best interests if he were to leave and return to the USA, which is already suffering, no thanks to people like him, from similar problems.

Update: this report clarifies that 4 people were murdered, and the terrorist was the 5th one dead.
