The Israeli civilians who were standing at the bus stop were uninjured.
According to the military, the driver swerved from his lane and crashed his truck into the metal bollards surrounding a bus stop near the Ma’ale Michmash settlement in the central West Bank.
Israeli troops who were stationed nearby opened fire, killing the Palestinian man.
When the soldiers checked the vehicle, they found that the driver had a knife in his hand, the army says.
The identity of the Palestinian driver has yet to be revealed.
