In three weeks, no less than three similar attacks occurred in Jerusalem. Every time a Palestinian driver throws his vehicle or passers forces.
Police set up roadblocks in several neighborhoods and additional forces deployed at major intersections. Concrete blocks were also willing to protect the shelters along the tram line.
"I feel safer now that there are roadblocks. I hope I do not have to stay behind them all the time but at least we know they are there, "said a young Israeli.
"I think it's crazy to get there, we had to start putting barriers next to the train stops and bus," said another.
Yesterday, the Palestinian driver of a minivan threw his vehicle on the passenger tramway, before attacking bystanders to death with an iron bar. He killed a police officer before being shot himself.
Later yesterday evening, another Palestinian driver rammed at Israeli soldiers in the West Bank.
Extremist Jews called to walk this afternoon to ultra-sensitive site of the Temple Mount, which they call "the Temple Mount."
Their claim to be able to pray is increasingly noisy, sparking renewed tensions in the holy city.
