A 36-year-old Italian man was killed in the attack, named by Italian news outlet Repubblica as 36-year-old Alessandro Parini from Rome.

A 74-year-old man, a 39-year-old man, a 17-year-old girl in 'moderate' condition, a man in his 50s and a 70-year-old woman were taken to the Wolfson Hospital in Holon and Ichilov.

A 31-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, both tourists, were later taken to hospital with slight injuries. 

Police said they shot and killed the driver of the car and identified him as a 45-year-old Palestinian citizen of Israel from the village of Kafr Qassem.

A video circulating on social media showed the car hurtling along a sidewalk for several hundred metres before crashing out of control.

Earlier on Friday, the two British-Israeli sisters were killed in a shooting in the West Bank.

Their father was reportedly driving in front and turned around to find his wife and daughters had been shot.

The three were shot while on the road near the Hamra junction in the northern part of the Jordan Valley.

Troops found bullet holes in the Israeli vehicle and deemed it a deliberate attack.

22 bullet casings were found.

Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy said: 'I am shocked by reports of the killing of two British sisters in an appalling and cowardly attack in the West Bank.

The family were from London and had emigrated to Efrat, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.

The attacker was seen to drive south near the Charles Clore promenade, hitting tourists on the pavement
