The Palestinian driver who struck three Israel Defense Forces soldiers in the West Bank late Wednesday apparently did so by accident, and not as a deliberate terror attack, a senior Israeli security official said Thursday after the suspect was questioned.

The suspect turned himself in on Thursday morning, and a second suspect was also arrested.

The three soldiers have been wounded just hours after one person was killed and 13 wounded in a similar attack in Jerusalem. Two of the soldiers were moderately wounded and one seriously when they were hit by a car. Magen David Adom rescue services were evacuating the soldiers to Hadassah Hospital at Ein Karem with chest injuries, bruises and limb fractures.

The incident took place on Route 60 near the town of Al-Arroub in the Gush Etzion bloc. The soldiers were hit by the vehicle when they were standing by a pillbox guard tower. After hitting them, the vehicle drove away to the south.
