Jerusalem attack: New Palestinian car attack kills one

A driver has rammed a car into several pedestrians in East Jerusalem, killing one person, hours after clashes erupted at the city’s holiest site. At least nine others were injured in the ‘suspected terror attack’, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. Police shot dead the suspect, who was reportedly a Palestinian man. A similar attack took place in the same area two weeks ago, when a Palestinian man killed a woman and baby after driving into them. The city has seen a recent escalation in tensions, heightened by the shooting of prominent right-wing Jewish activist Rabbi Yehuda Glick, who remains in a critical condition. The Temple Mount/al-Haram al-Sharif compound was briefly closed earlier to visitors after dozens of Palestinian protesters fought with police.
