A driver plowed a car into a crowded bus stop in east Jerusalem on Friday, killing two people, including a six-year-old, and injuring five others before being shot and killed, Israeli police and medics said, the latest escalation as violence grips the contested capital.
JERUSALEM - A driver plowed a car into a crowded bus stop in east Jerusalem on Friday, killing two people, including a six-year-old, and injuring five others before being shot and killed,The car-ramming took place in Ramot, a Jewish settlement in east Jerusalem. Tensions have soared in thei-annexed eastern half of the city, following a Palestinian shooting attack outside a synagogue on Jan. 27 that killed seven people in the deadliest attack in Jerusalem in over a decade.
Police said that an off-duty detective shot and killed the suspected attacker at the scene. There was no immediate word on his identity. The Islamic militant groups Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, praised the attack but did not immediately claim responsibility. Footage from the scene showed police and paramedics swarming a mangled blue Mazda that had slammed into the bus stop. Bloodied bodies lay strewn along the way.
