Prof. Zvi Gimmon, M.D. of the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, presented pictures from daily life in Jerusalem today.
This is an x-ray taken after one of the recent suicide bombings on a Saturday night in Jerusalem. The patient lungs were invaded by 5 bolts.
You can see the three EKG leads (solid white), but in addition there are 5 (!)
bolts
that were part of the suicide bomber's weapon. There is no other purpose of
these bolts than to inflict as
much human damage as possible.

Nuts, bolts, and shrapnel invaded the entire left leg of this patient. |
Another

This is a residentce in Jerusalem. Note the porch on the top floor: It's bullet proof glass. The people on the floor below didn't believe in bullet proof windows; so they did it the old fashioned way: Sand bags.
