An Israel Defense Forces soldier was wounded in a car-ramming attack in the West Bank.
Israeli troops at the scene shot dead the Palestinian driver after he drove into a group of soldiers on Thursday on a road south of Nablus between the Hawara and Tapuach junctions, according to the IDF.
The soldier, who was lightly injured, was treated at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikvah in central Israel.
The two junctions have been the sites of several Palestinian car ramming and stabbing attacks in recent weeks.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
