Moshe Plesser, who shot the terrorist tractor driver in Jerusalem Wednesday, said that the terrorist shouted out the Muslim cry "Allahu Akbar" before Plesser took a handgun from an armed citizen named Oron Ben Shimon and shot him.

Plesser said: "I drew Oron's weapon and shot three bullets at the terrorist. After I made sure he was dead I raised the gun so that passersby would not be hurt. I want to thank the Holy One, Blessed Be He who assisted me and the we I was raised and grew up, from the Talmud Torah in Jerusalem through the Dimona and Kiryat Arba yeshivas to my army service in the Golani Brigade and Egoz."
