ONE Israeli was killed and five others injured when an excavator rammed into a Jerusalem bus, turning it over before the driver was shot dead by police.
The incident took place on the seamline between east and west Jerusalem and came as Israel pressed a major military campaign in Gaza which has killed more than 1800 Palestinians.
Police said the excavator had overturned a bus, prompting two police officers who were in the vicinity to open fire, killing the driver and foiling what they described as a "terrorist attack".
