A Palestinian assailant who tried to carry out a ramming and stabbing attack against IDF troops in the West Bank was shot dead, the military says.
According to the IDF, the Palestinian accelerated his car toward troops of the Binyamin Regional Brigade’s 43rd Battalion, as they were operating near the town of Hizma.
“The terrorist drew a knife…and tried to carry out a stabbing attack,” the IDF says.
The IDF says the soldiers opened fire at the assailant, killing him.
There are no other injuries in the incident.
