Bartender: Terrorists ordered brownies, opened fire without touching food

The Times of Israel’s Judah Ari Gross is at the scene of the Sarona Market attack.

He speaks to bartender Yousef Jabarin at the Max Brenner restaurant.

Two guys came in dressed as “warriors,” wearing black suits, white shirts and skinny ties, says Jabarin. When he saw them, he knew from their dress that they were from the West Bank. They came in, they ordered the “milky brownies” dessert, and without touching the food, got up and began their attack.

According to Jabarin, who hails from Umm al-Fahm, the firearms didn’t look like automatic rifles, but pistols. They fired out a couple of rounds and people started running.

The restaurant doesn’t have its own security guard; only Sarona Market does. About 15 minutes passed from when the men entered and the shooting began. The shooting lasted about a minute.
