IDF says initial probe yielded no clear proof that alleged Hebron ramming attempt was deliberate
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF says an initial probe of an incident Saturday night in which troops shot a suspected assailant who accelerated his car toward them in the West Bank’s Hebron hasn’t yielded clear evidence that it was a deliberate attempted ramming attack.
The military said earlier that forces had shot and ‘neutralized’ an assailant who attempted to ram soldiers in the Haret al-Sheikh neighborhood of Hebron.
Now, the army says the initial probe has found the soldiers opened fire because they felt an immediate threat.
No soldiers were wounded in the incident.
Arab outlets have reported that the assailant was injured.
