While 10,000 police and Israeli soldiers are deployed in East Jerusalem and West Bank crossing points, the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan, fearing violent protests on the occasion of the commemoration of the Palestinian Nakba, an Arab driver, 22 years has overwhelmed many pedestrians and cars in south Tel Aviv killing one citizen and wounding 16 more.
According to one police estimate, leaked to local media, it would be an attack but officially prefer to display caution and not confirmed until the end of the investigation. The Israeli Arik Levy, who managed to stop him, said: "He left the truck and tried to hit people. I caught and resisted shouting 'Allah Akbar' and 'Death to the Jews." Clearly it is an attack.
" The driver, an Arab Israeli village of Kfar Qassem, has beaten his truck a few cars and pedestrians in a crowded neighborhood in south Tel Aviv. After two miles of progress mad, was stopped by colliding with a bus. Immediately, he was arrested and is being questioned. The date (day when Palestinians remembered with mass protests, what they define as 'The Catastrophe', which meant for them the creation of Israel 63 years ago) and method (in recent years, several Palestinians have been overwhelmed and killed pedestrians with construction machines and tractors), suggests that this is not an accident.
Police reported the driver had run a mile sweeping away what is in its path. For this reason, doubt that the detainee's release because of its action to the prick of a wheel. According to him, was not an intentional attack but "a loss of steering control." "My son is innocent and was never in jail," says his mother from Kfar Qassem.
"It seems an accident but intentional. A driver does not make mistakes and drive like crazy looking for hundreds of meters in cars and hit people on the street. At no time tried to stop," says Yossi, a witness told Israeli public radio . Israel has raised the alert status of demonstrations and marches of the Nakba, the Internet calls to start the third intifada and the death of a Palestinian youth in Friday's riots in the neighborhood of Silwan in East Jerusalem.
His family said the bullet that hit his stomach was fired from the building inhabited by settlers in the neighborhood of Palestine. Many elements which, together with stagnation in the peace process, mutual accusations and the Fatah-Hamas unity, have dramatically increased tension between Israelis and Palestinians.
