The knife-wielding Islamist terrorist who attacked a UK synagogue on Yom Kippur had called police mid-carnage to brag, “I have killed two Jews in the name of the Islamic State,” according to a report Wednesday.
Syrian-born monster Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, rammed his car into worshippers and started stabbing others as he tried to storm his way into the synagogue in Manchester on Thursday.
Before being shot dead by cops, the terrorist called 999 — the UK equivalent of 911 — and told the operator, “I have killed two Jews in the name of the Islamic State,” according to the Sun.
The dad of three made the call immediately after driving into worshippers outside the Heaton Park Synagogue and then stabbing at least two people, the paper reported.
“This is what you’re going to get for killing our children,” he also yelled, witnesses told the Sun, seemingly referring to the ongoing conflict in Gaza sparked by Hamas’ slaughter of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.
British counter-terror police declared it a terrorist attack.
However, they have yet to find a direct link between Al-Shamie and any terror organizations, according to the Sun.
Instead, Al-Shamie is believed to be a “lone wolf” inspired by Islamic terrorism and the Israel-Hamas war.
Neighbors said he became radicalized during Covid, and started wearing robes and preaching the Quran to local children.
Police arrested six of his associates under terrorism laws to see if they knew anything about his sickening plans. Two were later released without charge.
At the time of the attack, Al-Shamie, who became a British citizen in 2006, was out on bail over an alleged rape.
He had three young children with his wife, who left him around six months ago, and was also married to a second woman, a white British healthcare worker who converted to Islam four years ago, The Sun reported.
Two worshippers — Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53 — died as they tried to stop Al-Shamie.
Cravitz was stabbed by him, while Daulby, a security guard, was accidentally shot by police as they stopped the terrorist from getting into the synagogue.
A third worshipper, Yoni Finlay, was also shot by the same police bullet that killed Daulby and is one of three people recovering in the hospital from serious injuries.
