The attacker was shot within seconds, which shows that while Palestinians learn from one another how to kill Jews, the Jews learn from one another how to kill killers, in this case even before he managed to kill. (Update: the 2nd shooter, an officer, is not Jewish. He's probably Druze, or an Arab Israeli).
And the BBC? They never learn anything. As you see when you follow that link, according to them it was an "attack", not an attack, and also:
Israeli police called it a "terror attack", although there was no immediate claim of responsibility by any Palestinian militant organisation.Maybe the poor driver's foot got stuck on the gas pedal, and if only someone had been nice to him he would have found a way to lift it and we would have been able to commiserate with him how hard it is to live under Israeli occupation and also be racially profiled.

You know me; I don't write short pieces. But that doesn't mean I'm not aware of the "art" of writing a headline. Heck, I adore DRUDGE. And, even as a kid, he'd take a newspaper and shorten the published headlines he saw. Making them more dramatic in the bargain.
Which reminds me of a journalism joke. Here goes: A young reporter is hired by a newspaper; where his editor drives him crazy. When he hands in an article, the editor goes over it, tossing out words.
In this one case, the reporter is sent out to investigate a police report of a rape. Where a man left the confines of an insane assylum.
Cut. Cut. Cut. Until all that was left of the article was: NUT BOLTS AND SCREWS.
That's the "nuts and bolts of it," folks.
As to what the BBC does here; since I just opened Drudge and saw him leading with this headline ... is notice how quickly the driver was shot and killed. Which means there are enough armed Israelis around willing to take action.
Adding words doesn't change what people do with their eyeballs. Curiosity leads them to find out "what happened." And, here it includes that the terror, while causing annoying traffic jams, also is put down quickly. When the public interacts.
If you fly, you also know that besides all the hoo-ha about airport security OUTSIDE of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport ... You'd know that most passengers these days wouldn't let a bunch of muslems take over a plane. And, yes. I really mean this! I mean that IF there was an attempted highjacking, the terrorists couldn't count on the passengers being sheep.
Meanwhile, this time, there are two suspects on the loose. Besides the dead driver of the tractor/Caterpillar. And, the Shin Bet are putting up roadblocks so they can't just go back to their "village."
Oh, by the way. Back in England, just as up in Canada, there are a lot of ordinary citizens "perplexed" at the attitudes in their government and in their press.
You won't come to changes soon. But mark my words. You can't have a press that runs amok and keeps on shining.
The attacker was shot within seconds, which shows that while Palestinians learn from one another how to kill Jews, the Jews learn from one another how to kill killers, in this case even before he managed to kill.
Very unfortunately for you, the reaction to the Palestinian terrorist attack was a Haredi lynch attempt. Fanatic beasts beat two Arabs to a pulp before they found refuge in the yard of upright and humane Jews, whom the Haredim also tried to kill.
You will say that in Israel there are enough good Jews that these particular Arabs were not killed. But there are enough bad Jews that they were savagely beaten, and enough that these "unfortunate incidents" are taking place on an almost daily basis.
"The most moral army in the world" -- and it can't stop its own fanatics.
Morality is when you're prepared to stop your own beasts so that they won't harm others. That's clearly not the case with Israel.
