On 10 February 2023, three Israelis were killed, including two children aged 6 and 8, when a Palestinian man intentionally rammed his car into a bus stop where they, and several other families, were standing in Ramot, a neighborhood of Jerusalem. The 6 year old, Yaakov Israel Paley, and his 8 year old brother, Asher Menachem Paley were struck when the assailant purposely accelerated his car into the bus stop. Another man, Alter Lederman, aged 20, who had recently gotten married, was also killed. Several other people, including children, were seriously injured. 8 year old Asher died in hospital the next day.
The assailant was shot dead at the scene by a police officer. Police labeled the attack as an act of terrorism.
Car ramming has increasingly become a terrorist weapon.
