Israel: car hits Palestinian protesters after being pelted with stones –video
by from World news | The Guardian on (#5HNK9)
Israeli police published dramatic CCTV video from a road near the Old City in Jerusalem of a white car being pelted with stones by Palestinian demonstrators, before the driver reverses and hits one of them. The car then speeds forward, hitting another person and colliding with a wall.
An armed Israeli police officer runs in to protect the driver, believed to be Israeli, who faces more rock-throwing.
Tensions have soared in recent days in advance of the now-delayed Israeli court ruling on whether authorities were able to evict dozens of Palestinians from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, just outside the Old City, and give their homes to Jewish settlers
