6-year-old Yaakov Israel Plai is the boy who was murdered today (Friday) in the stampede attack in Jerusalem.
6-year-old Yaakov arrived at the scene in his father's car, who dropped him and his brother off at the bus station in the Ramot neighborhood, where the family lives, so that they could go to Shabbat "Seva Baruchot" in Bnei Brak.
The terrorist who arrived at the scene sped towards the station and hit them hard.
Jacob was pronounced dead on the spot a few minutes later.
His 8-year-old brother was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where doctors are fighting for his life.
The father himself was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital, where his condition has improved and is now classified as moderate.
He suffers serious injuries to his lower body.
Another brother, about 10 years old, was slightly injured in the attack.
A 20-year-old man was also murdered in the incident, who was pronounced dead at the hospital about an hour after the attack.
This is a yeshiva student who got married a few months ago and was by his wife's side at the time of the incident.
The two planned to go to Elad, to spend Shabbat with his parents.
At first it was suspected that he was hit by one of the gunmen who shot the terrorist to death, but after an examination, a police officer ruled out this possibility.
The terrorist who carried out the attack is Hussein Karaka, an Israeli Arab about 30 years old from East Jerusalem.
Karaka lives in the Issawiya neighborhood in the east of the city and his family is from the Mount of Olives, and he had a criminal record.
A policeman who arrived at the scene of the incident shot him dead.
