Police say a Palestinian child was mistakenly killed by officers during a car-ramming attack at a checkpoint in East Jerusalem.

According to police, a car with a Palestinian man and woman arrived at the checkpoint near the West Bank town of Biddu and accelerated into a Border Police officer in her 20s.

The officer was lightly wounded, and other officers opened fire at the vehicle, killing both occupants.

According to medics, the Palestinian girl, aged three, was critically injured by the gunfire and was declared dead at the scene a short while later.
