Violence between Israelis and Palestinians continued with two separate incidents on Tuesday. 

A shooting targeting a vehicle occurred near the Shim'on HaTsadik light rail station in Jerusalem, leaving two people injured. Police began a search for the suspect, the Israel Police said in a series of tweets.
