Man shot in Jerusalem said he was from IS
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn initial probe into the circumstances behind the fatal shooting of a Jewish man on a bus near the entrance to Jerusalem Wednesday night has found that the man yelled “I am Daesh” while scuffling with soldiers. Daesh is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State.
The man apparently demanded an ID from two soldiers who boarded a bus. They in turn demanded to see his ID, and an altercation ensued. When he reportedly tried to grab their guns, one shot and killed him.
According to the report, the bus driver also tried to help the soldiers with a Taser gun.
