Two Israelis were injured on Wednesday evening in a run-over attack carried out by a Palestinian with his car at the entrance to the village of Deir Qadis, west of Ramallah, in the central occupied West Bank.

The Israeli army said in a brief statement: "A (Palestinian) terrorist arrived in his car at a checkpoint at the entrance to Deir Qadis and carried out a ramming attack and fled the scene. Large forces are surrounding the village and are now combing the area."

While the "Magen of David" (Israeli ambulance) announced that "two people were slightly injured in the run-over attack that took place near the Modiin Illit settlement."

On Monday evening, a car driven by a Palestinian ran over an Israeli army force stationed at a military checkpoint at the intersection of the town of Al-Khader, near Bethlehem, in the southern occupied West Bank, resulting in two soldiers sustaining moderate and minor injuries, according to the official Israeli Broadcasting Authority.
