Two Palestinian terrorists attempted a combined ramming/shooting attack at IDF soldiers near the village of Yabed in the West Bank on Saturday. None of the soldiers were hurt in the incident.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said two suspects in a vehicle approached an IDF checkpoint outpost near Jenin, part of the Menashe Regional Division. As they approached the outpost, the suspects accelerated and attempted to run over the soldiers while also shooting toward them.
