Israeli forces said an Israeli policeman and policewoman were injured in the purported incident involving the Palestinian driver on Wednesday. The driver was identified as Omran Abu-Dahim, 41, a resident of Jabel Mukhaber in the neighborhood of the East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Abu-Dahim was killed after being shot in the head by a third Israeli policeman.
Earlier in the month, an Israeli security guard killed another Palestinian in similar circumstances on the line separating al-Quds’ west and east.
Palestinians face various forms of Israeli aggression nearly every day, including the heavy-handed suppression of protests in the occupied West Bank and deadly aerial attacks in the Gaza Strip.
