The IDF says the seriously wounded victim of the car-ramming attack in the southern West Bank is a soldier.
The assailant who carried out the attack near the Fawwar camp fled the area. The IDF says troops are imposing a closure on Hebron amid a pursuit after the attacker.
During the incident, the military says troops opened fire at the car which hit the soldier.
The army is investigating if the gunfire also mistakenly hit a civilian car driving in the area, lightly wounding one of the occupants.
