Six people were injured, including two children who are in “critical condition,” in a ramming attack on a bus stop in east Jerusalem on Friday, according to first elements of the emergency services and Israeli police.
The tragedy happened on the first day of the Israeli weekend in Ramot, a Jewish settlement in the eastern part of the Holy City annexed by Israel.
It left six injured, including two six-year-old children “in critical condition,” said Magen David Adom, the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross.
A police spokesman pointed out that it was a “terrorist attack with a ramming vehicle” and that “the suspect” had been “neutralized”.
Behind a large police machine blocking access to the site, an AFP journalist saw a blue car parked on the sidewalk near a bus stop. Under the rubble nearby a doll.
Many rescuers were active on site, overflown by a helicopter and a drone.
Dozens of onlookers, including many children, mostly dressed in black and white clothing of ultra-Orthodox Jews, gathered around the security line.
