Hamas claimed responsibility for a car-ramming attack in Jerusalem that injured 14 people, including a baby who is still in critical condition.
The attacker – named by police as 21-year-old Abed el-Muhsen Hassuna – drove his car onto the pavement on Monday, smashing into pedestrians including an 18 month-old boy and 70 year-old woman, waiting at a bus stop close to the Chords Bridge and near the capital’s central bus station. He was shot dead at the scene by a member of the security forces, a security guard and an armed civilian who saw the attack.
An axe was found in the boot of his car, police said.
