An Israeli soldier was killed in this morning’s ramming attack near the West Bank settlement of Givat Asaf, the IDF announces.
He is named as Staff Sgt. Geri Gideon Hanghal, 24, of the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion, from Nof Hagalil.
Hanghal was killed when a Palestinian truck driver rammed his fuel tanker into an army post adjacent to a bus stop at the Givat Asaf Junction.
The assailant, 58-year-old Hayil Dhaifallah, from the central West Bank town of Rafat, was shot by IDF troops and an armed civilian.
