Israel publishes a video in which it accuses a 13-year-old boy of the latest “terrorist attack” in Jerusalem

Maximum tension in Israel after the second attack in less than 24 hours. A 13-year-old boy has opened fire on a group of civilians who were walking near the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan. In the images shared by the Israeli Foreign Ministry you can see how the minor is holding a weapon and fires several shots while his victims try to protect themselves from the shots.

“Have you ever wondered what a 13-year-old terrorist looks like? Take a look at this video of today’s terrorist attack in Jerusalem. This 13-year-old terrorist is a brainwashed victim of the systematic Palestinian incitement to hatred and violence”, points out the Israeli government itself.

Regarding the identity of the injured in the video, the two victims are two men, aged 23 and 47, who are volunteers in the Israel emergency service. The Silwan neighborhood, where Israel seeks to install a tourist archaeological zone and where Jewish settlers have staged attacks against Christian religious, is cordoned off, with closed streets and a large police deployment.

This new attack occurs less than 24 hours after a Palestinian killed seven Israelis while leaving the Shabbat prayers in a synagogue in the settler settlement of Neve Yaakov, also in ‘occupied’ Jerusalem.

The authorities consider that the attack was a reprisal for the violent incursion of the Israeli army on Thursday in Jeninnorthern West Bank busywhich led to strong clashes with armed militias that resulted in the death of 9 Palestinians, reports efe.

In response to the attacks, the Israeli army is sending more troops to the occupied West Bank and will strengthen security in the eastern part of Jerusalem. “Following a situational assessment by the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces), it was decided to reinforce the Judea and Samaria (West Bank) Division with an additional battalion,” the army said.
