The jihadi attacked pedestrians on Jaffa Street, directly outside the entrance to the market. The vehicle ran down five people.
A 70-year-old man among them suffered a serious head trauma and injuries to his limbs and was unconscious. All victims were transferred to local hospitals.
Emergency first responders from Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah were dispatched to the scene to treat the victims and transport them to hospitals.
“When we arrived on scene, we saw an approximately 70 year old male lying on the road semi-conscious near the ramming vehicle. We performed medical checks and saw that he is suffering from head and limb injuries, we moved him to the MICU and rapidly evacuated him to Shaare Tzedek Hospital while undergoing treatment, in serious but stable condition,” said MDA medic Itai Giz.

“Due to the nature of the incident, United Hatzalah’s Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit is on its way to the scene to treat people suffering from emotional shock,” United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Tzvi Klein explained.
The terrorist was identified as Hatem Nejima, a 39-year-old resident of the Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa in eastern Jerusalem. He evidently thought it more important to kill as many Jews as possible rather than help raise his own five children, as he was killed at the scene.
Large numbers of police officers have been deployed to the area amid unconfirmed reports of a second incident on the nearby Agripas Street.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was nearby at the time, delivering a Yom Hazikaron address.
“A few minutes ago, not far from here, there was an attempt to murder Israeli citizens. This terrorist attack, in this place, at this time, reminds us that the land of Israel and the State of Israel are acquired through many trials and tribulations.
“These terrorist attacks come with the expectation that they will overcome us and will uproot us from here, and if they could, they would murder us all. But they will not overcome us; we will overcome them. We have established an exemplary state with exemplary army and police, at a heart-rending price.”
