| [IsraelTimes] Second assailant is moderately maimed as car attempts to ram into Border Police in Shuafat, officials say; no Israelis hurt A Paleostinian assailant was killed in East Jerusalem Sunday night when he and a second man attempted to run over police and Border Police forces in East Jerusalem, security officials said. According to authorities, troops were concluding an operation in the Shuafat refugee camp when the vehicle with the two Paleostinians attempted to hit them. Border Policemen fired at the vehicle, killing one attacker and moderately wounding another. No Israeli troops were hurt in the incident. On Friday a Border Police officer sustained minor leg injuries when he was hit by a car that failed to stop at a checkpoint in the East Jerusalem village of Issawiya. The driver expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. The past 10 days have seen several arrests of knife-bearing Paleostinians in checkpoints in the Jerusalem area, who are thought to have planned attacks against Israelis. A Paleostinian man was rubbed out by IDF troops on August 26 when he ran toward a guard post near the West Bank settlement of Ofra, north of Ramallah. He was apparently unarmed, but did not heed the soldiers’ repeated orders to halt. A senior Paleostinian official later said the man suffered from mental illness.
