Surveillance camera footage shows a silver Skoda Superb accelerating dangerously near a bus station at the Gush Etzion Junction, before fleeing.
The IDF says troops launched a pursuit after the car, opening fire at it. Eventually the driver was stopped near the settlement of Elazar, and a knife was found in his car.
