Ghassan Abu Tir, the terrorist who carried out the deadly bulldozer attack on
Jerusalem's King David Street last month, was buried his home village of Umm Tuba, located in the eastern part of the capital.
Border Guard officers arrived in Umm Tuba at around 2 am, closing off roads and allowing the Abu Tir's family to hold a quiet service. Only 10 family members were allowed to attend.
Abu Tir, who was employed as a bulldozer driver at a Jerusalem construction site, went on a rampage in mid-July, injuring 18 people. He was shot dead by two bystanders.
Abu Tir is related to Mahmoud Abu Tir, a former member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, who is imprisoned in Israel.
