An IDF soldier was lightly injured in the car-ramming attack this evening near the West Bank city of Hebron, the military says.

According to the IDF, the assailant accelerated his vehicle into troops stationed at the Yehuda Junction, injuring one servicewoman, who was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Other soldiers at the junction opened fire on the car as it fled, hitting it, the military says.

“The forces are carrying out extensive searches and are blocking roads in the area in order to locate the terrorist,” the IDF adds.
