A Palestinian child has been killed in unclear circumstances amid a car-ramming attack at a checkpoint in East Jerusalem.
According to United Hatzalah, as medics were treating a young woman who was hit by a car at a checkpoint near the Palestinian town of Biddu, a four-year-old girl was brought to them in critical condition.
The child was declared dead at the scene, it says.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it is taking the woman in her 20s to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek hospital in good condition.
Police say officers shot the alleged assailant, but do not immediately comment on the death of the young girl.
