In an unrelated incident, five IDF soldiers were injured after being hit by a car in Haifa on Thursday morning, in what police said was likely a traffic accident and not an intentional attack.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the five young men were taken to the city’s Rambam Medical Center.
One of them was moderately hurt with wounds to his head and limbs, while the other four were lightly hurt.
Police said they have located the driver who hit them and have started an investigation.
