The IDF says troops have shot dead two Palestinians who attempted to carry out a car-ramming and shooting attack against Israeli forces near Tapuah Junction in the West Bank a short while ago.
“The troops responded with fire and neutralized the terrorists,” the army says, adding that no soldiers were hurt.
According to an initial military investigation, the two gunmen opened fire at an army post, then fled in their vehicle toward the junction where they tried to ram into soldiers.
Both assailants were shot dead, first responders say.
