A Palestinian man suspected of carrying out a car-ramming attack in the West Bank earlier this evening has been detained, the IDF says.

The suspect had hit two soldiers with his car at a checkpoint at the entrance to the town of Dayr Qadis, before fleeing the scene. The servicewomen were lightly hurt.

The suspect was later detained as troops encircled the town, the IDF says.
