An Israel Defense Forces soldier was lightly wounded in a car-ramming attack in the West Bank.

The driver of the vehicle, identified as Hassan Ali Bazur, a 22-year-old Palestinian from a village ear of Jenin, was shot and killed by soldiers at the scene.

The incident took place south of Nablus in the northern West Bank, between Hawara and Tapuach Junction.

The soldier suffered light wounds in his limbs and was taken to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva for further treatment, emergency services said.

On Sunday, a soldier was lightly wounded in a stabbing attack on Yirmiyahu Street at the entrance to Jerusalem while his alleged attacker was arrested by the police.

Just one day before, a 20-year-old Israeli soldier was lightly wounded in a car-ramming attack in Hawara and the 56-year-old assailant was shot dead.

Genady Koman, a resident of the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, who was stabbing in an attack near Hebron in early December, died of his wounds in a Jerusalem hospital on Wednesday.
