Four Israelis soldiers were killed and 15 wounded after a Palestinian drove his truck over them before reversing, trapping ten people under his wheels.
According to Israeli police, the driver has been shot dead.
The group of solider were standing beside the bus on some grass when the truck bounced into the air onto the promenade and drove through the victims without warning.
The killer then stood on his brakes and reversed, trapping some ten of his victims under the truck.
Some of the surviving soldiers managed to jump clear and opened fire, riddling the cab of the truck killing the killer.
An instructor accompanying the soldiers said he killed the terrorist.
It is understood the soldiers fired at least 18 rounds at the terrorist, who is believed to be from an Arab area of east Jerusalem.
The soldiers were on a cultural sightseeing tour of the city when they were attacked.
Police said the incident is being classed as a terrorist attack.
Eyewitness Leah Schreiber said: ‘There was no sense in that reverse. He drove backward to crush more people. That was really clear.’
