At least four people have been killed and 17 wounded after a truck ploughed into a group of pedestrians in Jerusalem today.
The four dead were identified as IDF Lieutenant Yael Yekutiel, aged 20, of Givatayim, Cadet Shir Hajaj, 22, of Maaleh Adumim, Cadet Shira Tzur, 20, from Haifa, and Cadet Erez Orbach, 20, from Alon Shvut.
Some people were left trapped under the vehicle after it veered from its course onto the Armon Hanatziv Promenade, where it hit a group getting off a bus.
According to reports, the truck driver was Jabel Mukaber, a Palestinian from East Jerusalem. He reportedly reversed back and forth over the people he had run over.
