Jerusalem Police Officers Describe Tractor Attack
[Ynet News] Efrat Weiss - Two Israel Police officers who survived a tractor attack by a Palestinian in Jerusalem on Thursday described the event. "We were sent to deal with a routine traffic incident," said Staff-Sergeant Major Camal Zahaika. When we were finished, "we got into the car and then I felt a strong thump. I saw a tractor and understood immediately that this was a terror attack...we were flipped over to the left and the tractor kept pushing us." Sergeant Hila Shmuel, a mere week on the force, said that at first she thought a car had accidentally crashed into the police cruiser. "Then I heard the tractor's noise....You feel it dragging you and you think that somehow you're in this crazy action film. I was sure we were going to be slammed into the bus and that it was all going to end very badly. My life just flashed before my eyes. I didn't think anyone could save us. We're both grateful to the other police officers and the taxi driver who were there."
