Jerusalem: One Palestinian shot after car-ramming wounded Israeli soldiers

Four Israeli soldiers have been wounded after a suspected car-ramming attack by a Palestinian man in the occupied East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah on Sunday, AFP reported, citing Israeli police.

After the "vehicle-ramming attack" in the district, the assailant was "shot by officers", police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Israeli police later confirmed that the man, whose name had not been released, had died.

A Middle East Eye correspondent said that Israeli forces blocked off entrances to the neighbourhood to stop others from aiding the Palestinian man. Ambulances had also been prevented from entering the area.

In videos shared online, Israeli forces were shown preventing the press from covering the shooting and getting close to the scene of the incident.
