An IDF soldier was lightly wounded in a car-ramming attack earlier this evening near the West Bank settlement of Ariel, the military announces.
Two Palestinian assailants in the vehicle were shot dead.
According to the IDF, the pair arrived by car from the Tapuach Junction and drove against the oncoming traffic toward Ariel, while crashing into several cars on the way.
The assailants then tried to ram into IDF soldiers stationed in the area, who opened fire, killing them, the military says.
In their vehicle, the IDF says troops found a military vest and several assault rifle magazines.
The wounded soldier was taken to a hospital for treatment.
