Israeli police say at least five people have been injured after a suspected Palestinian motorist rammed his vehicle into them. <br /><br /> It happened on a main road in East Jerusalem, close to an Israeli border police station, during the Jewish holiday of Purim. <br /><br /> The driver is said to have got out of the car wielding a knife, before being shot by a security guard. <br /><br /> “The terrorist himself drove through a pedestrian area and hit at least five border police women at the junction,” said Micky Rosenfeld, an Israeli police spokesman.<br /><br /> “This is in fact the same junction in Jerusalem where there was a terrorist attack several months ago. The terrorist was in fact shot at the scene and apprehended.”<br /><br /> There was a spate of similar attacks last October and November, which killed three people and wounded around a dozen more. <br /><br /> Although tensions flared both before and after the Gaza war, it has been relatively calm in recent months.
