Jerusalem bulldozer attack[edit]
Are you sure about that? The sources I've read say otherwise (Hareetz even quoting both Mizrahi and the soldier) and it's also in accordance with the video footage. Or is there new info? If so, please make sure to include the source for that and ideally place a comment to that effect on the article talk page. Everyme (was Dorftrottel) (talk) 06:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Yes I am sure, look at this video: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7486366.stm
At the beginning of it, you can see that when the bulldozer starts again both the unnamed policeman (blue t-shirt) and the other policeman (with the yellow jacket) are already in and around the cabin. At the end of it you can see how the policemen in the yellow jacket is helped descending the cabin. wounded or simply shaken by the shots fired near his head.
in this other video, uncensored, you can see and hear the 4 shots fired by the guy in the blue t-shirt:
Can you perhaps make the changes with the proper references? I am new and still unsure how to do it... thanks!
- The current version in article should be about right, some details missing from the sources notwithstanding. The guy in the blue T-Shirt is definitely the off-duty soldier. Mizrahi is the policeman with helmet and rifle who climbs up to the cabin only after the soldier had fired four shots, which can be clearly heard, but both the soldier who fired them and Oron Ben Shimon who was in the cabin are quoted with "three shots to the head" — maybe the soldier's first shot missed. We could mention the deviance (3 vs 4 shots), but I'm not convinced it is all that important. The soldier, at least in the footage, is never seen inside the cabin. He's outside, reaching inside with the gun to shoot the driver. Inside the cabin are civilian Oron Ben Shimon, whose gun the soldier used, and an unnamed policeman who, according to Oron Ben Shimon was also inside the cabin struggling with the perpetrator. Either Oron Ben Shimon or the unnamed policeman is the guy with the yellow jacket who supposedly passed out and can be seen hanging half out of the vehicle.
