Five people have been injured in a car-ramming attack by a Palestinian in central Jerusalem, Israeli police say.
The vehicle hit pedestrians near the busy Machane Yehuda market.
The attacker was shot and killed at the scene by a civilian. Police say the assailant was a 39-year-old man from occupied East Jerusalem.
It came as Israel began to mark Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of attacks – one of the most solemn days in the national calendar.
Speaking at a Memorial Day event, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack was “another attempt to murder Israeli citizens”. END
