on the roadside in the city of Malawi, about 137 miles south of the capital city. Ambulances rushed to transfer the injured to hospitals.
Footage from the scene showed that the bus sustained heavy damage to its front half, apparently from the crash with the back of the truck. In Egypt, which has a poor transportation safety record, traffic accidents kill thousands every year. Most of the crashes are caused by careless driving and speeding, as well as bad roads and poor enforcement of traffic laws.
Stabbing in Jerusalem
A man in his 40s was moderately injured in a suspected stabbing attack on a bus near the Ramot Junction in Jerusalem on Tuesday afternoon. The suspected terrorist, a Palestinian from the West Bank who had entered Israel with a permit, was shot by a civilian and is in moderate condition. He had stabbed the man with a screwdriver while riding on the bus. The terrorist and the passengers then got off the bus, and Ynet journalist Meshi Ben Ami, who was passing by at the time, shot the terrorist. Shaare Zedek Medical Center stated that the victim was at the hospital in moderate condition with multiple stab wounds to his upper body. He is not in a life-threatening condition. Ben Ami told KAN news that the suspected terrorist came towards him after
injuring the person on the bus. “I didn’t hesitate and I shot him once and he fell on the ground,” said Ben Ami. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem called the stabbing “a natural response to the occupation’s crimes against our Islamic and Christian sanctities in the city of Jerusalem. “This act of resistance confirms once again the failure of all attempts to stop the escalation of the act of resistance in the occupied West Bank and the city of Jerusalem,” added Qassem.
Officer Killed in Ramming Incident
The widow of deceased Master Sergeant Barak Meshulam slammed Public Security Minister Omer Barlev (Labor) for Israel’s too-strict open fire rules. Meshulam was killed on Sunday in a ramming attack perpetrated by a 17-yearold Palestinian Authority Arab terrorist, who slammed into him and killed him at a roadblock in central Israel. The terrorist, a resident of the Palestinian Authority city of Ramallah, appeared in court on Sunday afternoon for an extension of his arrest. His attorney insisted that despite his actions, he did not intend to harm anyone and Meshulam’s death was accidental. The terrorist was reportedly driving a car he had stolen from the Tel Aviv area and was fleeing the police when he rammed Meshulam at a checkpoint near Ra’anana. Following the ramming, he is reported to have exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. Meshulam, 29, was married and a father of two children. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kfar Saba, his hometown, in a funeral attended by hundreds of people, including Barlev and Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai. Speaking at the funeral, Meshulam’s wife, Ariella, said, “Love of my life for 11 years. It is important you know that I am not angry. I keep telling them what an amazing father you are. I promise to be strong for them. “You are a hero. It is hard for me to believe that I won’t see your face. I will
