Two Israeli soldiers have been wounded under unclear circumstances during a suspected car-ramming incident in the northern West Bank, medics say.
According to the Rescuers Without Borders emergency service, troops carrying out a patrol in the Palestinian village of Nazlet Zeid opened fire at a suspicious car that allegedly accelerated toward them.
One of the soldiers was treated for a sprained leg, and the second, aged 38, was taken by the Magen David Adom ambulance service to the Hillel Yaffe hospital in Hadera.
MDA says the second soldier had been brought to the nearby Shaked checkpoint with an unspecified minor injury.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry says two men in the car that was shot at by Israeli troops have been taken to a hospital in Jenin, and that one of them is listed in critical condition.
There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces on the incident.
