Israel: Muslim opens fire in central Tel Aviv, murdering a security guard

Muhammad said: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220).

“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom you do not know. Allah knows them. Whatever you spend in the way of Allah, it will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)

“When your Lord inspired the angels, I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike the necks and strike their fingertips.” (Qur’an 8:12)

“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe partners to Allah, for which no justification has been revealed. Their dwelling is the fire, and wretched is the dwelling place of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)

lsraeli police said that Amir and another officer noticed Bakr, and, believing he was acting suspiciously, approached him. They said Bakr then opened fire, gravely wounding Amir. After a short chase, an inspector shot Bakr.

Both Amir and Bakr later died at Ichilov Hospital, according to hospital officials. Amir was married and had three daughters, hospital officials said.

Amateur video circulated online of Bakr vowing that armed resistance was “the only path.” Israel’s internal security agency said that Bakr had been wanted for the past six months….

The Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad both issued statements praising the attack….
