Minors' Intifada: the day children went out to shed blood in Jerusalem

Yesterday's harvest: four attacks, all of them in Jerusalem, most of the terrorists were minors. This day will be recorded in the chronology of the current wave of terror, as the day that children joined the terrorists.

The most notable case occurred in an attack yesterday afternoon, when a 13 year old terrorist with his cousin 15 of years old, both from Beit Hanina, went on a rampage in the neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev in Jerusalem. They stabbed a 21-year-old yeshiva student and injured him badly, continued looking for an additional victim, identified a 13-year-old cyclist, stabbed and fatally wounded him.

Earlier in the afternoon, a female, 16-year-old also from Beit Hanina, came through Bar-Lev Street near the national police headquarters. A border policeman approached her after she had aroused his suspicion. When he asked to check her bag, she pulled out a knife and stabbed him.

The officer responded quickly, despite his injury he cocked his gun, shot and neutralized the terrorist. The officer was taken in a slight condition to Hadassah Mount Scopus. The terrorist was wounded moderately.

In the morning, the terrorist Mustafa Khatib, 18 years old from Jabal Mukaber, came from the cemetery to Lions Gate. Since his hand was in his pocket, cops approached him in order to check him. He pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the officers. Miraculously, the knife hit the vest and the officer was not injured. The policemen reacted quickly, drew their weapons and neutralized the terrorist before he could further stab. The terrorist was killed.

The day ended with a 23-year-old terrorist from the Ketanal village in the Jerusalem area. He took the bus from Neve Ilan to Jerusalem and sat in the back near a soldier. At the entrance to the city, he attacked the soldier with a knife, wounding him with cries of 'Allah Hu Akbar' - and then tried to grab his weapon. He was eventually liquidated. The 19-year-old soldier was evacuated in a light to medium condition to Hadassah Ein Karem.

The terrorists in previous attacks were also relatively young: the terrorist who carried out the attack yesterday in Gan Shmuel, Ala Raed Ahmad Zyud, aged 20, from Umm al-Fahm. The one who carried out the attack in Tel Aviv on Thursday, was Taar Abu Ghazal, 19; in the stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Thursday it was Ibrahim Muhammad Subhi Abu Khalifa, 19, a resident of Shu'fat Refugee Camp. The terrorist who carried out the terrorist attack last Wednesday in Kiryat Gat, Amjad Hatem Aljondi was 17 years old.

This phenomenon indicates that the young Arabs connected to Twitter and Facebook, those for whom the social networks are these lives, are those who are driving the new Palestinian terrorism. Not organizations or political leaders.

This fact points to the root of the problem: social media incitement against Israel. This fact demonstrates that this is the focus on which one should put the maximum effort to stop the flood of violence.
