Palestinian killed, 3 Israelis injured in fresh run-over attack in West Bank

Xinhua, November 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Israeli police shot and killed a Palestinian teenager on Sunday after he carried out a run-over attack in the West Bank that left three Israeli settlers injured, Israeli officials said.

Police said the attacker rammed his vehicle at commuters who were standing at the Tapuah Junction, south of Nablus. Border police opened fire toward him and "neutralized."

A later statement said the suspect, a 17-year-old resident of a-Ram, a Palestinian suburb of Jerusalem, died of his wounds at the scene. His name was not immediately known.

Israeli emergency service said two injured civilians were evacuated to hospitals in a serious condition and another one sustained light injuries.

The incident was the latest in a deadly six-week wave violence in the West Bank and Israel, which has seen the death of 11 Israelis and at least 74 Palestinians. Endit
