Two Terrorists Eliminated After Attempted Ramming Of Soldiers, Settlers Come Under Terrorist Fire

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Two Palestinian terrorists were eliminated after they attempted to ram Israeli soldiers involved in an arrest raid at the Jalazoun refugee camp near Beit El. The terrorists rode in a vehicle which began to accelerate towards soldiers, who opened fire, killing the two terrorists.

“During the activity, a ramming attack was attempted against the forces, who responded by firing and neutralized the two suspects,” the IDF said.

No soldiers were hurt in the incident. Some sources claimed that a third suspect in the car was also wounded in the attack.

The attack is the latest in a significant surge in attacks against IDF soldiers and civilians in Judea and Samaria. On Sunday there were two separate terror attacks near Shechem. In the first attack a taxi driver was lightly injured after shots were fired at his car and later in the day, local residents protesting the first attack were fired upon by Arab terrorists and forced to take cover. Shomron regional council head Yossi Dagan was also forced to take cover with other residents at the protest.

The IDF and police have been on heightened alert since last week’s beginning of the Jewish holiday season, with tensions already high due to an Israeli anti-terror offensive that has seen over 100 Palestinians eliminated and more than 2,000 arrested in nightly raids in Judea and Samaria.

In arrest raids across the West Bank early Monday morning, 16 wanted Palestinians were arrested, the IDF said.
