The suspected terrorist gunman who killed 80 people and wounded scores of others during Bastille Day celebrations in the French Riviera city of Nice late on Thursday seemed to have taken a page out of the Palestinian jihadist playbook of vehicular terrorism.
For several years now, Palestinian terrorists have deployed the deadly tactic of plowing vehicles into pedestrians and then attempting to continue their assaults with stabbings or shootings.
Only two days ago, a Palestinian man attempted a car-ramming attack against Israel Border Police officers near Jerusalem.
A week and a half ago, three IDF soldiers were lightly wounded in another Palestinian car-ramming incident.
Last month, a Palestinian woman lightly wounded two Israelis in a car-ramming attack.
Such vehicular attacks and attempted attacks have become almost a routine throughout the most recent so-called Palestinian wave of terror targeting Israelis for over a year now.
Moreover, Palestinians have been utilizing the bloody tactic for at least eight years, with assailants at time using heavy vehicles such as tractors.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a large truck running through a crowd will kill lots of people. My golly, to suggest this guy "got the idea . . . " is plain silly.
ReplyDeleteAnd collecting bodies with cell phones clutched in their hands is disturbing.No understanding of the spread out factor or distancing,and even if they knew those things their attention was on sending texts and photos.Seriously,why in todays world of potential threats everywhere would people be so lax?
ReplyDeleteWell, 1137, they're not allowed guns to draw. If they did have that right, there would have been a lot more bullet holes in that windshield a lot sooner and there might only be 10 dead.
ReplyDeleteBut, all they had were cell phones on them...
