A man who allegedly carried out a car-ramming terror attack at Beit Lid Junction in central Israel on Thursday, wounding eight IDF soldiers, was detained a short while ago in the nearby town of Kfar Yona, police say.

Police say the suspect, named earlier as Arkan Khaled, a 27-year-old Israeli resident of Taybeh, was caught while hiding at a construction site.
