Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA 54-year-old Israeli from Taybeh is accused of a ramming attack at a West Bank checkpoint two weeks ago that injured a guard there, police and the Shin Bet say.
Jawad Azzam is to be indicted in the coming days.
Officials say on January 16 Azzam veered from his lane at the checkpoint near Qalqilya and hit the guard as he crossed another lane, before crashing into a pole. The guard was moderately hurt.
Investigators ruled out the possibility that a technical malfunction led to the crash, the statement says.
