The IDF is investigating if a reported car-ramming attack at the Gush Etzion junction in the West Bank was an accident and not an intentional attack.

One person was moderately wounded after a car hit him near the junction, the Magen David Adom rescue group says. It described the victim as a pedestrian in his 20s.

According to military sources, the man may have been jaywalking when he was hit.

The car that hit the man stopped several hundred meters away, and two people in it were detained, the sources say.
