Palestinian motorist shot dead by Israeli police after ramming pedestrians at bus stop
Dec 15, – The incident is the latest in a campaign of stabbings, shootings and car rammings by Palestinians that has killed 19 Israelis and a US citizen since the start of October.
Israeli forces have killed at least 110 Palestinians, most of whom the army described as assailants.
This latest attack took place near the western entrance to Jerusalem, leading to the main highway to Tel Aviv, and the injured included two people in a moderate condition and a baby, medics said.
The attacker, identified as 21-year-old Abdel Muhsan Hasuna of East Jerusalem, was shot dead by a nearby security guard and a civilian who were both armed, a police spokeswoman said.
An axe was found in the attacker’s vehicle, police said.
An Israel Radio reporter said she had seen the car mount the pavement and strike people before shots rang out.
“I was about to turn left to Tel Aviv, suddenly a car went up onto a bus station, shots immediately opened up … There are people in the station … A number of people simply lifted up the car, because there were people underneath it,” Miri Krimolovsky told her station.
