IDF troops were dispatched to the Ateret settlement area in the West Bank following a suspected car-ramming in which a teenager was lightly wounded, the army says.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it treated a 13-year-old boy who was hit by a car on the Route 465 highway near the settlement. MDA says it took the teen to a hospital in Jerusalem in good condition.
The IDF says troops are establishing roadblocks, encircling Ramallah and Birzeit, and scanning the area for the driver, who fled the scene.
“The circumstances of the incident are under investigation,” the military adds.
