Police say a car-ramming in the southern city of Beersheba this morning was a terror attack and the 39-year-old Bedouin man who rammed and wounded a teenager will be facing terror charges.

The suspect, from the city of Rahat, underwent an investigation by the Shin Bet security agency.

He is suspected of “a terrorist act of attempted murder,” and will be brought for a court hearing tomorrow morning, police say
