[Jerusalem Post] Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter on Thursday visited Daniel Motza, the policeman wounded in the terror attack in Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood. Dichter said: "When you see Daniel, you really see how in spite of the severe wounds he sustained, he managed to fire at the terrorist and wound him. There is no doubt that the attacker's wounds significantly lessened the harm he could have caused, but unfortunately, after he was injured, and despite his wounds, the terrorist still managed to murder an elderly man, an 86-year-old man, just because he was Jewish. He was then subdued by a civilian before police arrived, but Daniel's fire was a very significant contribution to the eventual arrest of the terrorist."
