The Palestinian who carried out the terror car-ramming attack at the al-Khader Junction, wounding two teens, also attempted a stabbing at the scene, the IDF says.

The terror suspect, identified by security officials as a resident of the nearby town of Bayt Fajar, was shot by an armed civilian. His condition is unknown.

The IDF says it is blocking roads, encircling Palestinian towns in the area, and carrying out scans following the attack.

The local settlement council in the area says the highway where the incident took place been reopened to traffic.
