For the second time in as many weeks, a Palestinian man ploughed into a crowded light railway station in Jerusalem on Wednesday, this time killing one and injuring 13.
Israeli police identified the terrorist as Ibrahim al-Akari, a 38-year-old father of five from the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Shuafat. He had Israeli residency and ties to Hamas, according to police.
He was shot dead by security forces after driving his vehicle into several cars near the station, and attacking civilians and police officers with a crowbar.
A border policeman from a Druze town in the Galilee was killed; two of the injured remained in critical condition and on life support as of Wednesday night.
