At least 4 people injured in ramming attack in Israel
Four people were wounded when a car drove into pedestrians near Ramla in central Israel. One person is in critical condition, another seriously hurt, one moderately, and another lightly injured in the “attack”, according to police. Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports the suspect involved in the ramming attack in central Israel has been killed.
The attack took place at the Nir Zvi Junction, near the city of Ramla.
Haaretz newspaper quoted police commander Avi Bitton as saying the suspect hit several people at a bus stop, continued driving, made a U-turn and crashed into another bus stop where people were waiting.
“Our main task is to check that there are no additional hazards. As far as I understand, this is a single event,” Bitton told reporters at the scene. He said border patrol officers arrived at the scene and shot the driver dead.
Senior police officials confirmed the attacker was a resident of occupied East Jerusalem, Haaretz said.
Video emerges of car-ramming attack in Israel
Video footage widely shared on social media and broadcast on Israeli television shows a white car on the pavement next to a bus shelter and uniformed men firing shots at the vehicle. Traffic is halted on the main highway.
The four wounded Israelis were taken to a hospital. Paramedics said two of the injured were in serious condition, with police saying one of the victims was in a “critical” state.
In a statement released by a first aid group, paramedic Michelle Rashkovski says: “When we arrived at the scene, we saw a vehicle that had hit pedestrians stopped at a bus shelter. We immediately called additional forces to the scene.”
Israeli authorities cut power in Jerusalem before demolition: Report
Israeli forces raided a residential building in Wadi al-Joz, occupied East Jerusalem, and cut the electricity in preparation for its demolition, Wafa reports.
The West Jerusalem municipality decided to demolish the building, which has stood since the previous century, it said. Building owner Nader Jaber said he’s been “paying fines for 30 years, exceeding 1 million shekels [$275,300], yet they still want to destroy my home”.
The building has three apartments where his children and grandchildren live, one of which was constructed before East Jerusalem was occupied. “I have been forced to evacuate all three apartments and am now waiting for the demolition bulldozers to arrive at any moment,” Jaber said.
