Protest marks the site of Jerusalem car deaths

A small group of far right-wing Israeli activists held a demonstration on Tuesday at the spot where Abdel Rahman al-Shaludi drove his car into a group of Israeli pedestrians on 22 October.

A three-month old baby was killed hours after the incident, branded a "terror attack" by Israeli politicians, and a 20-year old Ecuadorian woman died days later of her wounds.

Seven people were also injured.

Shaludi, from the flashpoint East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Silwan, was shot by Israeli security forces as he tried to flee the scene on foot.

A day after the incident a protest at the site, attended by some 200 right-wing Israelis, was the scene of clashes between protesters and Israeli police - 12 people were arrested.

There were also fierce clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces in the West Bank and East Jerusalem after Shaludi's killing.

The postponement of his funeral, and restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities, provoked confrontations which saw dozens arrested and injured.

On Tuesday, the right-wing protesters stood near the police headquarters and called on the police and the government to act to end what Israeli media have dubbed the "silent intifada", the ever-escalating tension in East Jerusalem.

Some were dressed as policemen and wore handcuffs, claiming that police are unable to deal with almost-daily clashes in East Jerusalem.

Since the summer of 2014 and the devastating 51-day war in Gaza, Jerusalem police have arrested over 700 Arab Israelis.

Many fear that recent decisions to expand Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as plans to allow Jewish prayer at al-Aqsa Mosque, could inflame the situation even further.
