A Palestinian who injured four Israeli border policewomen and a civilian when he drove his car into them was sentenced on Sunday to 25 years in prison, the Israeli justice ministry said.
Court documents released by the ministry said that Mohammed Sleiman, from Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, admitted to five counts of attempted murder in a plea bargain.
In March, Sleiman ploughed into a group of Israeli border policewomen as they crossed a busy road outside their base on the line separating west and east Jerusalem, wounding four of them.
"Immediately afterwards, the accused stopped his <g data-gr-id="15">vehicle,</g> and got out, carrying an axe," it said. It added that he ran toward a border policeman and a security guard at the base entrance who both ordered him to halt, then shot and wounded him when he continued to advance.
