The "little" ones

|

They tend to fall under the media radar. Nothing so dramatic as a bus or a cafe full of people being blown to bits. A guy goes out for a jog, never comes home.

A 21-year-old man was shot dead by a passing vehicle on Friday evening in the French Hill neighborhood in Jerusalem.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade claimed responsibility for the attack, Channel Two news reported.

The man, shot twice in the head and once in the stomach, was evacuated to Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Kerem, and died in the emergency room.

And I thought I was going to get to end the week on an up note. Sorry.

Shabbat shalom.


Update: As you'll see if you follow the link, there's been a development. The victim, as it turns out, was an Israeli Arab -- a bright young man with a very promising future. His grandfather was murdered in a terrorist attack, as well. And the terrorists had the unmitigated gall to "apologize" to his family and promise that he'll be honored as a shahid. Unspeakable.
