The Israeli ambulance organization, Najma Dawood, said that she said that "14 persons have been treated and transferred to the hospitals, as a result of the accident, which occurred in an area that includes cafes and restaurants in West Jerusalem near the borders of the eastern part of the city.

"Police and paramedics units have arrived at the scene and are trying to find the car, and an investigation into a terrorist attack has been opened," said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.

The Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" quoted the police as saying that a search for suspects is underway.

The medics reported that one of the wounded was seriously injured, the other was "moderate", and the other 12 were slightly injured.

The possible motives behind this process are not known, but they come amid escalating tensions between Israel and the Palestinians after US President Donald Trump announced his plan for peace in the Middle East.

As a result, a Palestinian youth was killed and seven wounded in clashes with the Israeli army early this morning in Jenin in the northern West Bank, according to the Palestinian Wafa Agency.

The agency stated that Yazan Munther Abu Tabikh, 19, was "martyred as a result of being shot by the occupation soldiers" during clashes in Jenin, the second Palestinian killed by Israeli soldiers in two days.

The Israeli army announced that the soldiers "spotted a number of armed terrorists who threw explosives and shot them, and the forces returned" to "remove the threat."
