  • One killed, three injured in Jerusalem protest after bus incident

One person was killed and three were injured Tuesday during a protest in Occupied Jerusalem against a law to conscript ultra-Orthodox Jews into the 'Israeli' army, first responders said.

A bus ran over three pedestrians and lightly injured them, then drove on and struck an 18-year old who got trapped under the vehicle, and "paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene," the Magen David Adom emergency service said.

The 'Israeli' police said that the bus had been "blocked by rioters" and the driver had been "assaulted" by them before the incident.

Police sources quoted by 'Israeli' media have ruled out the idea that the incident was a "terror attack".
