The other night, an Arab Muslim Israeli lured Israeli police officers to his home by calling in a false report of domestic violence. He then ambushed, shot, and wounded three of the Israeli police officers who rushed to the scene.
Police later found several firebombs on the roof of the building from where the terrorist, Badir, had called the police.
The Israeli authorities have determined that it was a terror attack, but the Arab Muslim Mayor of the Israeli town where the terrorist lived, Kfar Qassam, attended his funeral claiming that it was not a terror attack.
Israel Police spokesman Cmdr. Eli Levi said, “The district commander was present at the scene and determined that it was a terrorist attack. There is no other version.”
CCTV footage backed up the police, showing Naim Badir attempting to shoot an officer.
When his gun fails to fire, he throws firebombs at a police car. Then he enters his car and speeds into reverse in an effort to run over a group of policemen. Three officers suffered light wounds and were evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikva.
Kfar Qassam Mayor Abdel Badir does not accept that Badir is a terrorist and he offered several possible motives for Friday’s pre-dawn attack in interviews with Hebrew media, including criminal intent and mental illness.
He also blamed illegal guns in the Arab sector, saying they are “directed at all of us.”
At the same time, every Arab Muslim Israeli knows that if they kill Jews in a terror attack they and their families would be compensated with money from the Palestinian Authority, “pay to slay”.
Shas Party Chairman Aryeh Deri denounced Badir’s attendance at the funeral.
“Instead of condemning the terror committed in his city…a mayor in the State of Israel chose to participate in the funeral of a damned terrorist who brutally ran over and shot an officer and two policemen carrying out their duties in the city. A shame and disgrace,” said Deri.
