The IDF confirms that all eight people wounded in the suspected car-ramming attack near Netanya earlier today were soldiers.

According to the military, two soldiers sustained moderate injuries and six others were lightly hurt when a vehicle rammed into them at the Beit Lid junction, near the entrance to Kfar Yona on Route 57.

The injured troops were taken to the hospital for treatment, and their families have been notified.

Police said the suspected assailant fled the scene on foot after abandoning the vehicle, prompting a large-scale manhunt in the area.
