A truck rammed into a crowd of soldiers on a popular promenade in Jerusalem Sunday, killing at least four and wounding 15, officials said.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said four 20-year-olds had been pronounced dead. One severely wounded person was evacuated to the hospital. The dead included three women and one man, the service said.
Israel's national police chief Roni Alsheikh told reporters that the truck was driven by "an east Jerusalem Palestinian" who was killed by other soldiers after the attack. Pictures from the scene showed the truck's windscreen pockmarked with several bullet holes.
A police spokesman described the incident, at the Armon Hanatziv promenade, which overlooks Jerusalem's Old Walled City, as "a terrorist attack," though an investigation remains ongoing.
This terrorist act will be quite negative for Israeli Shekel. Furthermore the growing global insecurity may drive the investors capital away from risk instruments to more safe one , like GOLD and JPY.
