Four members of the Israeli military – three of them women – were killed on Sunday when a truck plowed into a group of IDF soldiers in Jerusalem. All four were in their twenties. More than 10 other people were injured. The truck driver, identified as a 28-year-old Palestinian man, was shot dead at the scene.
CNN reported that the US State Department condemned the “glorification of terrorism now or at any time” saying “there is absolutely no justification for these brutal and senseless attacks.”
