Palestinian Rams Car Into Israeli Soldiers, Wounding 3

[bemildred]

JERUSALEM — A Palestinian motorist rammed his car into Israeli soldiers in the West Bank on Thursday, wounding three before he was shot by Israeli troops, the military said.

The military said two of the soldiers were seriously wounded in the incident, which took place near the Jewish settlement of Shilo. The Palestinian driver was being treated in a Jerusalem hospital, where he arrived seriously wounded with four or five gunshot wounds, according to Shoham Ruvio, a spokeswoman for the Shaarei Tzedek hospital.

Israeli media showed footage of a white car overturned on a road in the West Bank as paramedics treated the wounded.

The incident comes as tensions between Israelis and Palestinians are high after the torching of a Palestinian home in the West Bank last week by suspected Jewish extremists that killed a Palestinian toddler and severely wounded his parents and 4-year-old brother.

and there's no indication that the state of Israel has any appetite for finding them.
