East Jerusalem tense after baby killed

Israeli police flooded into Arab neighbourhoods in east Jerusalem to calm tensions after a Palestinian motorist with a history of anti-Israel violence slammed his car into a crowded train station in Jerusalem on Wednesday, killing a three-month-old baby girl and wounding eight people.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned any future attacks on Jerusalem will be met with the “harshest response“.

“Jerusalem is united and was, and always will be, the eternal capital of Israel.
