East Jerusalem father of 5 identified as suspect in car-ramming attack near market.

A Palestinian man carried out a car-ramming attack in central Jerusalem, injuring five people near the Machane Yehuda market. The attacker was shot and killed by a civilian. The incident occurred on Memorial Day, a solemn day in the Israeli national calendar. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "another attempt to murder Israeli citizens". The attack comes amid a surge in Israeli-Palestinian violence this year, with more than 90 Palestinians and 18 Israelis killed since the start of 2021.
