Three Israelis sustained minor injuries on Monday morning in an alleged car-ramming attack in West Jerusalem.

"This morning, a report was received regarding a ramming terror attack in which three pedestrians were run over by a vehicle on Mordechai Tekhelet Street in Jerusalem," the Israeli police said in a statement.

The police said they are investigating the incident.

Tensions have been high across the occupied West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip, which killed more than 34,000 people following a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023.

At least 485 Palestinians have since been killed and over 4,800 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied West Bank, according to the Health Ministry.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which in an interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
