In East Jerusalem, a Palestinian driver threw his vehicle on bystanders, killing one and ten wounded. This is the second time in less than a month occurs such events.
The man then got out of his car to attack other people to death with an iron bar, before being shot. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack:
"Hamas praises the brave operation in Jerusalem and sees it as a normal response to Israeli crimes in Jerusalem and al-Aqsa. Hamas calls on all our people to use all means to stop these crimes, "said Sami Abi Zuhri, a spokesman for the organization.
In a tribute to the assassinated former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the bellicose attitude of Hamas: "The attack on the car ram Jerusalem is the direct result of the incentives of Hamas and its partners. We are in a constant battle for Jerusalem, and I am sure we will win, "he has said.
The attack occurred near the ultra-sensitive Temple Mount. The city known for a few weeks renewed tensions about access at this location, raising fears a third intifada.
