This is the horrifying moment a car rammed into ultra-Orthodox Jewish pedestrians in a 'terror attack' that left at least three injured before the suspects fled the scene in Jerusalem.

Footage of the shocking Monday attack shows two suspected 'terrorists' speeding around the bend of Techelet Mordechai Street, Romema, as three Jewish people stood chatting on the corner of the road.

A white car can be seen driving at a steady pace before it begins veering onto the pavement where the pedestrians are standing, unaware of what is about to take place.

Before the three individuals have an opportunity to move from their spot, the car accelerates and ploughs into them, where they are sent flying through the air.

Two of the Jewish pedestrians are flung over the dashboard of the car, while the third is thrown off to the side towards a brick wall.

After the terrifying hit, the footage posted to X, formerly Twitter, shows the vehicle crashing into a bollard and ripping it from the ground as the front of the car is left falling apart.

The drivers then swerve into another parked car before climbing out and attempting to open fire at the injured group.

One of the suspected 'Palestinian terrorists' can be seen wielding a makeshift 'Carlo' submachine gun which appears to become jammed, police reported.

They two assailants duck behind a wall and slam the firearm onto the ground, giving two of the Jewish pedestrians extra time to flee the scene. 

After a few moments of trying to fix their weapon, the suspects decide to dump the gun while the two injured Jewish pedestrians appear to have disappeared. 

Once the two armed attackers realise their victims are out of sight, they dash off in the opposite direction - leaving their destroyed vehicle in the side of another car with both doors wide open.

A large number of officers were dispatched to the scene to locate the attackers, with footage of the incident on social media showing five officers armed with rifles.

The local ambulance service said the three victims were 'lightly hurt' and police are reportedly still searching for the two attackers. 

Images taken from the scene this morning show officers detaining at least one man at the site of the ramming attack. 

Palestinians have carried out periodic attacks on Israeli cities and towns since the country's war against Hamas began on October 7.

The war was sparked by an unprecedented raid into southern Israel in which Hamas and other militants killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted around 250 hostages.

Israel says militants are still holding around 100 hostages and the remains of more than 30 others.

Since the start of the war, violence has surged in the West Bank.

Over the weekend, a funeral in the West Bank commemorated 14 Palestinians killed during an Israeli raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp, and several dozen people were killed in the southern Gaza city of Rafah as one child was born an orphan.

The Palestinian Red Crescent rescue service said it had recovered the 14 bodies from the Israeli raid in the Nur Shams urban refugee camp in the West Bank that began late Thursday. 

Those killed include three militants from the Islamic Jihad group and a 15-year-old boy. 

The military said it killed 14 militants in the camp and arrested eight suspects. Ten Israeli soldiers and one border police officer were wounded.

But Israel yesterday said it will increase 'military pressure' on Hamas in a bid to secure the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. 

Netanyahu threatened action 'in the coming days' and promised Israeli forces would 'deliver additional and painful blows' without specifying further.

Despite an international outcry, Netanyahu has repeatedly said that the army will launch a ground assault on Rafah, a southern Gaza city so far spared an Israeli invasion where more than 1.5 million Palestinians have taken refuge. 

Israeli strikes on Rafah on Saturday night killed 22 people, including 18 children, health officials revealed on Sunday.   

The Israel-Hamas war has killed over 34,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, at least two-thirds of them are children and women.

It comes after the conflict, now in its seventh month, has sparked regional unrest pitting Israel and the US against Iran and allied militant groups across the Middle East. 

Israel and Iran traded fire directly this month, raising fears of all-out war.

On April 13, Iran launched a large salvo of more than 300 drones, cruise and ballistic missiles at Israeli targets from bases within Iran.

According to the IDF, Israel managed to intercept almost all of the rockets thanks to their Iron Dome air defence system and with help from the UK and US, among other allies 

According to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the majority of the strikes were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome air defence system, and with the help of allies including the UK and the US. 

Dubbed 'Operation True Promise' the attack was reportedly a retaliation to an Israeli airstrike on April 1 against an Iranian diplomatic base in Damascus, Syria, which killed seven top officers within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - including the Quds Force’s General Mohammad Reza Zahedi.

Iran's attack marked the first time in history that Tehran has directly targeted Israel from Iranian territory. 

Israel had planned to carry out an airstrike in retaliation but aborted the plan on April 18, following talks with Washington, according to Israeli and US media reports.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had vowed to respond to the attack which resulted in several global powers, including main ally the US, to call for restraint to avoid any further escalation from the months-long war in Gaza.

Israeli broadcaster Kan reported that following discussions with US President Joe Biden, Netanyahu decided not to proceed with pre-arranged plans for retaliatory strikes on Iran in the event of an attack.

But just a day later, Israel launched a retaliatory missile to hit an Iranian target in the central Isfahan province.

Satellite imagery revealed on April 21 that an Iranian air base had suffered significant damage as a result of the strike.
