“When terror attempts to disrupt our way of life, the best solution is to get back to normal as quickly as possible,” Jerusalem Mayor Barkat said after Wednesday‘s terrorist bomb attack that killed one woman and wounded 50 others.
"It's important to return to our regular routines as quickly as possible… Events in Jerusalem will not be cancelled and Jerusalem will not stop running,” he said. The annual Jerusalem Marathon will take place on Friday as scheduled.
At least one of the injured is an American studying at a seminary in Jeursalem. She underwent surgery Wednesday evening, and people are requested to recite Psalms for Leah Brachah Bas Shoshana Basya.
