A Palestinian’s car rammed three Israeli soldiers in a suspected attack in the West Bank, injuring them. Another soldier shot and killed the driver on the spot, the army said on Saturday evening. According to the Israeli rescue service Magen David Adon, one man was seriously injured and two others were moderately to slightly injured. The incident happened near the town of Beit Ummar north of Hebron.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed the death of the driver in the evening. So it was about a 23-year-old from a nearby village. He was reportedly a member of the Palestinian security forces.
The security situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories has long been extremely tense. Since the beginning of the year, 14 Israelis and a Ukrainian have been killed in attacks by Palestinians. During the same period, 89 Palestinians were killed – they were shot in clashes with the Israeli army or after their own attacks.
Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967. Today, more than 600,000 Israeli settlers live there. The Palestinians claim the territories for an independent state of Palestine with the Arab-influenced eastern part of Jerusalem as its capital. (sda/dpa)
