In recent days, there has been a rise in incitement attempts by Arab citizens of Israel on social media networks, especially among residents of East Jerusalem and Palestinians. Two different events that occurred this week are being distorted by Arabs in order to incite against Israel and portray it in a negative light to the world.
The false publications, some of which are disseminated by terrorist organizations for incitement purposes, and some by Arab citizens of Israel, have focused this week on two different events: 1) a fatal car accident in Jerusalem, and 2) an attempted attack in the Old City. In this way, terrorist organizations and those with foreign interests attempt to harm Israel and incite hatred and violence based on cheap lies.
Killed in an accident and presented as a martyr killed by Jews
In the accident that occurred last night, an Arab resident of East Jerusalem was driving at excessive speed, recklessly overtaking a vehicle, aso driven by a man from East Jerusalem, inside a tunnel in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Lifta. He collided with the tunnel's barrier, sustaining serious injuries, and later succumbed to his injuries.
From the initial police investigation and clear documentation of the accident, it is evident that this was a single-vehicle road accident involving the motorcycle rider. After dangerously overtaking a vehicle at high speed, the rider collided forcefully with the tunnel's barrier, fell to the ground, was dragged along the road, and suffered severe injuries. Due to the strong impact, the motorcycle was also dragged along the road for several meters.
