On the terrorist attack yesterday in Jerusalem, from the JC:

One man was shot dead and another three injured after a terrorist opened fire in Jerusalem's old city on Sunday morning. 

The attacker was shot dead by Israeli police, who responded in just 32 seconds and have now shut down the Old City. 

A Hamas spokesman has claimed credit for the attack, saying that the shooter, Fadi Abu Shehadam, a resident of East Jerusalem, was one of the group's leaders based in the Shuafat refugee camp.

According to Haaretz, Minister for Public security Omer Bar-Lev attended the site of the attack and confirmed that the man was a member of Hamas and said that the attacker was disguised as an orthodox Jew.

There's a 2020 clip of the man at MEMRI TV:

I suppose you can at least say that – unlike all those other Islamist preachers stirring up hatred against the Jews and the infidels – the man was actually prepared to put his money where his mouth was.
