Ramming Attacks Were Pioneered by Palestinian Terrorists
(Tablet-Fox News) Liel Leibovitz - The sort of ramming attack we witnessed in Manhattan on Tuesday was first used against Israelis by Palestinian terrorists. The first such attack occurred on Feb. 18, 1987, against an IDF force in the West Bank, wounding two soldiers. On Nov. 30, 1989, a car driven by a Palestinian terrorist killed Avigdor Dahari, who operated a food stand just outside of Gaza. A 2001 attack left eight Israelis dead and 21 wounded, and another in 2008 killed three and wounded 36. In January 2017, a Palestinian truck driver rammed his vehicle into a crowd of Israeli soldiers at a popular Jerusalem tourist spot, killing four people and wounding 17.
