This article addresses the Tel Aviv motor vehicle incident that occurred recently. The suspect who caused this commotion is Isa Islam, 22, an Arab-Israeli. Islam says that he lost control of his vehicle after the tire exploded, and he plowed into many cars before swerving into oncoming traffic. At first, police were questioning whether this was truly an accident, but now they are increasingly sure that it was not. The driver is okay, but this incident resulted in many injured and one dead. It just so happened that this horrific incident occurred on "Nakba Day"; the day that is mourned by Palestinians as it is the anniversary of the independence of the State of Israel in 1948. It also just so happened that the driver was indeed Palestinian. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence against Mr. Islam. Eye witnesses of this occurrence say that the driver deliberately crashed into those targets along the way down the road. "Investigators believe their findings contradict Islam's version of events, according to which a punctured tire caused him to lose control of his vehicle." The Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court extended Islam's custody by eight days on Monday, most likely for the police to get to the bottom of this. I truly hope that this incident was not intentional on the driver's behalf. It would be awful if he indeed went through all this trouble just to injure people out of spite. Although I hope that this was not the case, there is a significant amount of evidence that points to the idea that this was deliberate. Also, many eye witnesses have collaborated the story of intent by the driver. If so many people who were there say the same thing, doesn't that mean that there is a great possibility that this incident could actually have been intentional? And, to make matters worse for the 22-year-old driver, a witness stated that he yelled "Allahu Akbar", which means "Allah is the greatest", as he plowed into unsuspecting drivers in their cars.
