A Palestinian man perpetrated a similar car ramming earlier this year in the West Bank, injuring an Israeli soldier. Meanwhile, other servicemen in the region have suffered from a series of stabbing attacks.
According to Haaretz, three Israeli servicemen have been lightly wounded in a ramming incident at the Gush Etzion junction. The newspaper also reported that a Palestinian man was shot by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) during the incident.
One of the victims sustained moderate wounds, while the other two were only lightly injured, The Times of Israel reported, citing medics at the scene of the event.
