A Palestinian gunman, known to Israeli police for violence and incitement on social media, killed two Israelis and wounded several others while shooting a rifle from his car in Jerusalem on Sunday.
The assailant, who could not be named due to a court order, died after motorcycle police opened fire on him.
At his first stop, a busy light rail station, the assailant shot Lehava Melihi, 60, killing her and wounding others.
He was then chased at high speed by police along the seam line between the Israeli west of the city and the occupied east. As police officers on motorcycles closed in on him, he shot and killed one of them, Yosef Kirma, 29, before he was killed in turn.
