Israeli police said on Friday, February 10, that an alleged ram car attack in East Jerusalem had killed two people and injured five others, including one child. A second child is in a “critical state”, according to the first elements of help and the Israeli police. It is a “terrorist attack on the ram car,” said a police spokesman, adding that “the suspect” had been “neutralized”.
The drama occurred on the first day of the Israeli weekend in Ramot, Jewish colonization district in the eastern part – annexed by Israel – of the holy city. The militant groups of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas, which govern the Gaza Strip, praised the alleged attack, but did not immediately claim responsibility.
tensions are arguing
The Israeli rescue service had declared earlier than two men, aged 27 and 30, were unconscious and in serious condition, while two other people were in moderate state, including a 40 -year -old man. The police, for their part, identified the age of children as being 5 and 6 years old.
This is the last incident in the disputed capital, where violence has increased, since tensions have skyrocketed in the east of the city following a Palestinian shooting on January 27. Seven people lost their lives there. It was the deadliest attack in Jerusalem for more than a decade.
Israel claims all Jerusalem as its indivisible capital, while the Palestinians want Jerusalem-Est, captured by Israel during the Six-Day war, in 1967, the capital of their future state. Hostilities have intensified in East Jerusalem and in the West Bank since Israel intensified its raids in the occupied territories last spring, following a series of deadly Palestinian attacks in Israel.
