Israel hit by new digger attack
Al-Anfal
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides whom ye may not know but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly. (60)
Yohanan Levin, 16, was returning home to his apartment, just across the road, at the time of the attack. He says he froze in panic when he saw the digger ram into a bus.

“I was 10 metres away. I saw him. He saw me. I looked him the eye,” he told the BBC.
“I heard people screaming. After five or six minutes, I heard the gunshot. Then it went quiet,” he added.
Police identified the attacker as 22-year-old East Jerusalem resident Ghassan Abu Tir. It is not known if he was connected to any militant group.
