2 Israeli soldiers wounded in car-ramming incident

Two Israeli soldiers were seriously wounded in a car-ramming attack near the illegal Beit Horon settlement to the west of Ramallah on Tuesday evening.

The Israeli TV channel 7 reported that a driver rammed his car into a group of soldiers at Beit Horon junction and ran over two of them.

Hebrew media outlets said that the driver managed to speed away and was being chased by army troops.

They later reported that the youth was arrested, adding, however, that the incident might just be a traffic accident and not a deliberate car-ramming attack.
