Incident
The suspected car-ramming attack took place near Kaufmann Street. The driver's car veered onto an occupied sidewalk and continued for 150 meters before skidding and overturning on a lawn of the Charles Clore Park.
The car struck seven people, killing Alessandro Parini, a 35-year-old lawyer visiting from Rome, and injuring two other Italians and four British citizens. The driver was then fatally shot by a police officer.
The police are investigating whether this was a terror attack, while the Shin Bet security service are also involved in the investigation.
The driver was Yusef Abu Jaber, a 45-year-old Arab Israeli from Kafr Qassem and janitor at a local school. His brother said it was a car accident, not an attack, and that the family intends to ask for an investigation.
Aftermath
The President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella harshly condemned what he called a terrorist attack carried out against Italian citizens. The President of Israel Isaac Herzog expressed his condolences to the President of the Italian Republic.
