Palestinian killed after ramming car into Israeli border guards
A Palestinian man in a vehicle ran over two police officers in east Jerusalem, police said.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said officers on the scene opened fire at the attacker and killed him.
The two police officers were lightly wounded and evacuated to a hospital.
Israel has seen several isolated vehicular and stabbing attacks in Jerusalem in recent months, raising fears of a renewed wave of Palestinian violence like the one that gripped the country a decade ago.
