Suspect shot in alleged ramming attempt near Tulkarem, IDF says

Stav Levaton is a military reporter for The Times of Israel

The IDF says troops shot and “neutralized” a suspect who accelerated his vehicle toward them near Tulkarem in “a manner that posed a threat.”

No Israeli injuries were reported.

The incident follows two overnight attacks in the West Bank. In Dura, near Hebron, a knife-wielding assailant ran toward IDF forces and was shot dead, while in the al-Ram area, north of Jerusalem, troops opened fire at a suspect who accelerated his vehicle toward them, also “neutralizing” the attacker.

The military said no soldiers were hurt in either incident.
