Israeli police department foreign press spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld reported that the funeral for the terrorist who plowed his car into a group of innocent Israelis on Wednesday, Oct. 22, will take place tonight, Sunday, Oct. 26.
The terrorist murdered two – a three-month old infant and a twenty-two year old South American woman in the process of converting to Judaism – and injured seven others.
Police security measures are in place in Jerusalem to prevent and respond to any incidents, Rosenfeld tweeted.
The terrorist, abd al-Rahman al-Shaloudi, died after being shot by Israeli police as he attempted to flee the scene of the attack. There has already been a “symbolic” funeral held for Shaloudi earlier today. The procession started at Shaloudi’s home neighborhood of Silwan and ended at the al-Aksa mosque.
Chaya Zissel Braun, the infant who died a few hours after the terrorist attack, was buried the same evening, in accordance with Jewish custom of burying the dead as soon as possible.
Tonight the second victim of this terrorist attack died. The 22-year-old Ecuadorean, Karen Yemima Muskara, was in the process of converting to Judaism.
Shaloudi was a member of the Hamas terrorist organization and was praised by Palestinian Arab officials for his “heroism.” His family members proudly displayed his “shaheed” picture outside their home.
