Israeli occupation forces opened fire, on Sunday evening, at a vehicle near Salfit at the entrance to the Ariel settlement in the West Bank.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces fired heavily at a vehicle near the northern entrance to Salfit, without yet knowing the identity of the targeted persons after the occupation army announced the death of one of the vehicle's passengers, claiming that he had attempted to carry out a run-over operation.

The occupation army announced on Sunday evening that it had received a report about a Palestinian attempting to carry out a ramming attack near the Ariel settlement, and that he was shot and killed.

The Israeli army radio added that a Palestinian car tried to crash into a military platform at the junction. The radio reported that "at least one terrorist was killed."

Magen David Adom said in a statement that "two people were injured, one of them very lightly and the other was in a state of panic, as a result of a ramming attack, and that the two passengers of the car who tried to carry out a ramming attack were injured and neutralized..."
