The IDF says troops opened fire on a Palestinian suspect who accelerated in a vehicle toward them in the Beita area in the northern West Bank a short while ago.

The troops called on the suspect to stop, and after he refused, the soldiers opened fire, the army says.

No soldiers were hurt in the incident. The IDF did not provide details on the driver’s condition.
