Three Israeli Border Police officers were injured in a car ramming attack near Hebron.
The attack at the Beit Anoun Junction in the West Bank on Sunday injured one officer seriously and two lightly. The car continued driving after the attack and officers opened fire on the vehicle. Israeli military and police forces were searching the area for the driver, according to the Israel Police.
Earlier on Sunday, a Palestinian man was shot and killed at the same junction after he attempted to stab the officers there, the IDF said. The attack occurred during what the IDF said was a “violent riot” in Hebron.
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.
