Two Palestinians rammed a car into a bus stop used by Israelis in the occupied West Bank on Friday, causing injuries before troops killed one of the assailants, the Army said.
The attack came shortly after Israeli police said they shot dead a Palestinian who tried to stab police officers in annexed east Jerusalem.
“Two assailants rammed a vehicle into a civilian bus stop at the Elias junction near the community of Kiryat Arba,” the Israeli military said in a statement. It said three people were wounded.
“Forces at the scene fired at the vehicle resulting in the death of one of the assailants while the other was wounded,” the Army said. The Palestinian health ministry identified the dead suspect as Fares Khadour.
