An 8-year-old boy and a 20-year-old boy died this Friday in an attack in East Jerusalem, where
a man drove his car towards a bus stop
.
Five other people were injured, while the attacker was arrested.
The tragic episode occurred at the corner of Golda Meir avenue and Binyamin Mintz avenue,
in the Ramot neighborhood
, a Jewish settlement east of the Israeli capital.
The authorities indicated that "the suspect was neutralized" and described the incident as a "terrorist" attack.
Two weeks ago, eight people were killed in an attack on a Jerusalem synagogue.
The incident, which marked a new escalation in the Middle East crisis, came a day after an Israeli raid on a Jenin refugee camp that left a dozen Palestinians dead.
