Previously, the Israeli military radio, referring to health workers from the scene, reported that a six-year-old boy was killed and seven people were injured when a car ran into a group of people at a bus stop on the outskirts of Jerusalem today.

The Israeli police announced that it was a deliberate crash of a car, as the bus driver was killed in the attack.

The incident comes at a time of high tensions following an attack in which a Palestinian gunman shot seven people outside a synagogue last month.
