Gun permits, armed citizens spotlighted for role in breaking terrorism wave

The role of gun permits and armed citizens has been highlighted by politicians and leaders as a force multiplier on Wednesday and Thursday to counter the rising wave of terrorism in Israel.

A stabbing attack on a bus near the Neve Daniel junction was thwarted by an armed passenger on Thursday. 

"We bought a gun today because of the situation. We put the bullets in the cartridge while driving, and then there was the attack," an eyewitness told Israel Hayom's Hanan Greenwood.
