A Palestinian man was martyred, and two settlers were killed and others were injured on Friday in a run-over operation on the street of the Ramot settlement, northwest of Jerusalem.
The Israeli police said in a statement that the operation took place at around 1:30 am, at a bus station, killing two and injuring five.
The police announced that the perpetrator of the attack was Hussein Khaled Qaraqe’, a resident of the village of Issawiya in Jerusalem.
