A car driven by a suspected Hamas member crashed into a crowd at a light-rail station in
Jerusalem Wednesday, killing a three month-old girl and injuring eight
others.
Israeli officials confirmed that the suspect, Abdelrahman al-Shaludi, is
a former Palestinian prisoner from Silwan who may be a Hamas member.
Security camera footage apparently recorded the car as it drove onto the
platform of the rail station and striking innocent Israeli civilians.

Al-Shaludi was shot and killed by police as he tried to run away.
Hours later, dozens of masked Palestinians clashed with police forces in
Silwan and Issawiya, setting tires ablaze and reportedly injuring a police
officer following a fire bomb attack.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas of inciting violence that encouraged the suspected terrorist
attack, the Jerusalem Post reports.
"This is how Abbas' partners in government [Hamas] act. This is the
same Abbas who, only a few days ago, incited toward a terrorist attack in
Jerusalem," he said.
This comes amid increased Palestinian attacks in Jerusalem, including
rock throwing and Molotov cocktails.
A Hamas spokesperson said that if the incident at the rail station was a
terrorist attack, it was justified.
