Police say an officer was lightly wounded in this morning’s car-ramming incident in the southern West Bank.
Members of the Yasam patrol unit were carrying out an operation “against criminals and terrorists” in ad-Dhahiriya when they spotted a suspected stolen car.
The officers called on the suspect to stop, and he refused. The driver fled, during which he hit one of the Yasam officers, lightly wounding him, police say.
The IDF and police have encircled ad-Dhahiriya during a pursuit after the suspect.
Police do not describe the incident as a terror attack.
