Four dead as lorry rams into soldiers in Jerusalem

A lorry rammed into a group of Israeli soldiers as they got off a bus in Jerusalem, killing at least four people and injuring many more. 

A police spokeswoman said the truck veered off course and struck the soldiers who had just disembarked from a bus. She said the attacker, a Palestinian man, had been neutralized.
An Israeli bus driver who witnessed the incident said the truck ploughed into the soldiers and they fired on the driver who reversed direction and ran over them again.

He said: "They shot him, until they neutralized him."

He also said the driver was killed and footage showed bullet holes in the truck's windscreen.
Israeli television stations said at least four people were killed and that about 15 wounded bodies were strewn on the street at the Armon Hanatziv promenade overlooking the walled Old City of Jerusalem.
Police said the four people killed were in their 20s and included three women and a man. Of those injured, one is in a serious condition.
Since last year, Palestinian attackers have killed 36 Israelis and two visiting Americans in a series of mostly stabbing attacks.
