A young Israeli who was critically hurt in a Palestinian car attack in Jerusalem died of his injuries early on Friday, raising the death toll to two, doctors said.
      
"The person who was critically wounded in the hit-and-run attack in Jerusalem passed away this morning," said a statement from Hadassah hospital in Ein Kerem.
      
A hospital spokeswoman could not confirm details of his age or identity but police described him as a "youth" and Israeli army radio said he was a 17-year-old student at a Jewish seminary in the city. 
       
During Wednesday's attack, a 38-year-old Palestinian from Shuafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem deliberately rammed his car into two groups of pedestrians, killing a border police officer and wounding another nine people.
      
It was the second such deadly attack by a Palestinian driving a car in two weeks, and triggered rioting across flashpoint areas of the annexed eastern sector of the city.
