(IsraelNN.com) Relatives of bulldozer terrorist Hussam Duwiyat insisted that the attack on pedestrians and vehicles in Jerusalem 24 hours ago was "a traffic accident." However, the murderer's sister-in-law called him a "shahid" (martyr).

The family has agreed to security officials' request that it take down a mourning tent that had been erected at their home in eastern Jerusalem. Several people are mourning at this hour and sitting on chairs in the courtyard of the home. Nationalist activist Itamar Ben-Gvir said he will lead a march on the neighborhood Sunday in order to protest the public mourning.
