Police said they were investigating a reported carjacking that took place Thursday morning in the central West Bank.
According to officials, an Israeli woman was driving near the settlement of Talmon, northwest of Ramallah, when she was cut off by a Palestinian vehicle, forcing her to stop abruptly to avoid a collision.
Police said two suspects exited their car and approached the woman’s vehicle. They proceeded to smash the windshield and yank the woman out before taking her car and speeding away, police said.
The victim, from the West Bank settlement of Neria, declined medical attention despite sustaining light injuries.
A hunt was underway for the suspects.

The Binyamin Regional Council subsequently sent out a WhatsApp message to its residents telling them to be extra alert while driving as Thursday’s incident was the third alleged carjacking in the area in less than a week.
The message encouraged residents to install reinforced glass windows and drive with their doors locked.
