Palestinian shot dead after car rams Israeli police in Jerusalem

Al Jazeera  

Six Israeli police injured as a Palestinian crashes his vehicle into a roadblock in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood. Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian driver who crashed his car into a police roadblock, injuring six officers, in a flashpoint Jerusalem neighbourhood, police said. The incident on Sunday occurred in Sheikh Jarrah, in Israeli occupied East Jerusalem, which is the focus of a court case in which several Palestinian families could be forcefully expelled from homes claimed by Jewish settlers. Hostilities had flared up after Israeli police last week stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, firing rubber-coated steel bullets and tear gas to disperse a sit-in staged in support of Sheikh Jarrah residents. Israel’s High Court delayed a key hearing last Monday over Sheikh Jarrah forced expulsions amid growing tensions in Jerusalem.
