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.[2][3]
The car struck seven people, killing Alessandro Parini, a 35-year-old lawyer visiting from Rome,[1][4] and injuring two other Italians and four British citizens.[1] The driver was then fatally shot by a police officer.[1][5]
The police are investigating whether this was a terror attack, while the Shin Bet security service are also involved in the investigation.[3]
The driver was Yusef Abu Jaber, a 45-year-old Arab Israeli from Kafr Qassem and janitor at a local school.[1][5] His brother said it was a car accident, not an attack, and that the family intends to ask for an investigation.[6][7]
