One Israeli solider was killed and five more people were injured on Thursday morning in a Palestinian ramming attack at a West Bank checkpoint, west of Ramallah. 

The Palestinian truck driver was shot and killed at a second checkpoint, Hashmonaim checkpoint, as he tried to flee.

He was identified by Israeli media as a 41-year-old Daoud Abdel Razak Faiz, who held a permit to work inside Israel.
