Security forces foil attack near Ma’ale Adumim

Israeli security forces foil an attempted vehicular attack by a Palestinian near Ma’ale Adumim in the West Bank.

A car traveling from the direction of Ma’ale Adumim attempted to break through the barricade at the A’Zaim checkpoint, and run over a police officer,” the police say in a statement. “The Border Police officer that was in immediate danger fired at the terrorist and injured him.”

Two people are lightly hurt, Channel 2 says.
