Soldier moderately hurt in suspected West Bank ramming attack, driver shot

A short time ago a car rammed into a soldier, moderately injuring him, in the southern West Bank, a spokesperson for a nearby settlement regional council says.

The driver was “neutralized,” the military says, indicating he was shot. His condition is not immediately known.

The Magen David Adom says the serviceman is roughly 20 years old and is fully conscious, with injuries to his extremities.

The incident took place near the settlement of Negohot, in the South Hebron Hills region.
