Two Palestinians attempted to carry out a car-ramming and shooting attack at a West Bank checkpoint a short while ago, the military says.
The incident took place at the “Bell” checkpoint, where Routes 4436 and 4437 from Beit Ur and Ramallah hit the major Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway Route 443.
According to the IDF, the assailants first tried to ram into soldiers at the checkpoint with their vehicle, before one got out with a firearm and tried to shoot at the troops.
The soldiers returned fire, killing the armed Palestinian. The second assailant was detained, the army says.
No soldiers were wounded.
