JERUSALEM: A car slammed into a crowd in central Jerusalem late on Monday, wounding 10 people in what police described as a "terrorist" attack, before the Arab driver was shot dead, an Israeli police spokesman and medics said.
One of those struck by the car was seriously injured, a spokesman for the Magen David Adom ambulance service said of the incident at Kikar Tzahal -- Israel Defense Forces Square -- which overlooks to the Old City of Jerusalem.
"A man in a vehicle struck a number of people in Kikar Tzahal," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. "We can confirm it was a terror attack. The man was shot and killed." It was not immediately clear who shot the driver. One Israeli television report said he was killed by a bystander.
The attack revived memories of two previous incidents in Jerusalem this year when Palestinians driving construction vehicles have attacked Israelis.
