Bad news from the Middle East. A truck deliberately and deliberately ran over a group of soldiers in Jerusalem, killing four people and leaving at least thirteen wounded, the Israeli security services reported.

Among the fatalities were three female soldiers. The fourth victim was a young man who is not yet known if he was also a military man. The four deceased were in their 20s. This was reported by the Israeli Minister of Education, Neftali Bennett.

"A group had gotten off the bus and was organizing with their backpacks when the terrorist saw the opportunity, throwing his truck at the group," said Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, according to CNN en Español.

Once they had run over the youths, the truck turned around with the intention of running over more people. An act that had the approval of the Islamic fundamentalist organization Hamas and that was expressed on its Twitter account.

"We bless the brave and heroic operation with a truck in Jerusalem," the group wrote on their profile. "This occurs in the context of the natural response to the crimes of the Israeli occupation."

Among the data that is already known about the attacker is that his name was Fadi Qunbar, 28, from the Jabal Mukaber neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem. It is also known that he was a follower of ISIS. At least this has been expressed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who went to the scene of the incident immediately.

Finally, the attacker was shot dead by the security forces. During the next few hours, an emergency meeting of the country's security cabinet has been convened to evaluate the steps to follow after the attack.
