Gas Prices- When Will It Stop

There is an ongoing discussion among friends and family regarding gas prices. There are a few key components of this conversation:

Ynet reports about a new terrorist attack. Reportedly he was heading towards Mahane Yehuda. Thankfully he was killed long before he got there or things could have been much worse.

"Three women were killed and at least 30 more people were injured when a bulldozer driven by a Palestinian resident of east Jerusalem trampled over pedestrians and vehicles and plowed into two buses in downtown Jerusalem at around noon Wednesday.

Magen David Adom reported of casualties on Rashi, Jaffa and Sarei Yisrael streets.

The driver, who reportedly had a criminal record and was the holder of an Israeli (blue) identification card, was shot dead by a SWAT officer near the old Shaare Zedek Medical Center. The terrorist was identified as 31-year-old Hossam Dawiath, a father of two from the village of Tzur Baher. "
