JERUSALEM: The Israeli military said security forces killed an assailant who carried out a ramming attack in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, which medics said injured two people.
Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency services said it received a report of a ramming attack near the Al-Khader junction near Bethlehem at 14:25 p.m. (1125 GMT).
“We quickly arrived at the scene with large forces and saw two teenagers who had been hit by a vehicle,” MDA emergency medical technicians Eli Eisenbach and Daniel Elyakim said in a statement.
“A boy of about 15 was lying on the ground, semi-conscious, and the other was fully conscious,” they said, adding that the teenagers were suffering from head and limb injuries.
“They were evacuated to hospitals for further care,” the statement said.
