Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian driver who crashed his car into a police roadblock, injuring six officers, in a flashpoint Jerusalem neighbourhood, police said. The incident on Sunday occurred in Sheikh Jarrah, in Israeli occupied East Jerusalem, which is the focus of a court case in which several Palestinian families could be forcefully expelled from homes claimed by Jewish settlers. Video obtained by Reuters news agency showed a car slamming at high speed into the roadblock in what police said was a deliberate attack. Police said officers opened fire, killing the driver, whose name was not immediately released.
