JERUSALEM: A Palestinian woman rammed her car into a West Bank checkpoint on Friday, wounding two Israelis before being shot dead, Israel’s army said.
An army statement said the attack happened at the entrance to the settlement of Kiryat Arba in the southern West Bank and that “forces on site fired toward the attacker, resulting in her death.”
It added that the wounded Israelis, a couple in their 50s, were taken to hospital in Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the assailant as Majd Al-Khudur, from Bani Naim, close to Kiryat Arba settlement.
