Alaa Abu Jamal, who carried out a car ramming attack earlier today in Jerusalem, was related to two men who massacred Israelis in a synagogue in the capital’s Har Nof neighborhood a year ago.

Abu Jamal, of Jabel Mukaber, killed a Jewish man in the attack before he was killed by police.

The Ynet news site runs an interview with Abu Jamal (in Hebrew), taped in the wake of last year’s attack, in which he praised the terrorists, who were also killed by police at the scene of their attack.
