Four people have died In Jerusalem after a suspected terrorist rammed a lorry into a group of soldiers, Israeli police say.
"It is a terrorist attack, a ramming attack," a police spokeswoman said on Israel radio.

A bus driver who witnessed the incident told the station that the driver ploughed into the group before reversing over victims.

Police said the attacker was shot by soldiers from the group.

Israeli radio and TV reports said the attacker was a Palestinian.

Police said the driver veered off the road into a group of soldiers
The attack took place on a popular promenade overlooking the walled Old City of Jerusalem.

Thirty-five Israelis been killed in a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since October 2015.
More than 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period.

Israel says Palestinian incitement has fuelled the attacks. The Palestinian leadership has blamed frustration rooted in decades of Israeli occupation.

a rough truck driver is far deadlier than a Gaza rocket.

What did the Israelis expect after the court case of the twat that executed the wounded Palestinian?

"Mostly". What of the deaths at Israeli hands of those that weren't attackers?

What does "mostly" mean when it comes from Israeli spokespeople speaking on this subject? More than half? Possibly nearly 100 innocent people killed?

Yes.
But the murderous medic is excused because his comrades had just been attacked. Who can blame him, the Israeli apologists say.
Palestinians are not excused for retaliating, though.
