The Latest | 3 wounded in Jerusalem in car attack
==========

Israeli police said a car slammed into pedestrians in Jerusalem, wounding three people lightly. Footage of the incident showed a car plowing into three ultra-Orthodox Jews. Palestinians have carried out periodic attacks on Israeli cities and towns since the country’s war against Hamas began on Oct. 7. Over the weekend, a funeral in the West Bank commemorated 14 Palestinians killed during an Israeli raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp. The Israel-Hamas war has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians, at least two-thirds of them children and women. The U.S. House of Representatives approved a $26 billion aid package on Saturday that includes around $9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Israeli authorities said they had arrested a suspect in the killing of a 14-year-old Jewish West Bank settler. The teen’s disappearance earlier this month sparked rampages by Israeli settlers in a number of Palestinian communities. Three people were injured when a car ran them over in the neighborhood of Romema, northeast of the city center. Police said they were searching for the two attackers, who they said had exited the vehicle with a submachine gun and fled the scene.
