Frequently Asked Questions

How did the armed guard stop the terrorist attack in Jerusalem?

The armed security guard intervened immediately when a terrorist rammed a vehicle into a bus stop and began attacking people with a machete. The guard drew his firearm and shot the attacker multiple times until the threat was neutralized.

What tactical considerations were important during the Jerusalem attack?

Key tactical points included the guard waiting for a clear backstop before firing to protect bystanders and maintaining distance from the downed attacker to prevent them from regaining an offensive posture.

Why might the attacker have persisted after being shot?

The attacker's resilience could be due to the ammunition used. In Israel, Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) is more common than Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP), potentially offering less expansion and stopping power.

What does this incident teach about firearm capacity?

The attacker's persistence, requiring several shots to stop, suggests that high-capacity firearms are beneficial for dealing with determined threats, ensuring enough rounds are available to neutralize the danger.
