Ramallah: Israeli forces on Monday shot and killed two young Palestinians who carried out a car-ramming attack in the occupied West Bank, injuring a soldier and a policeman, police and the army said.
The army said security forces fired at three assailants, “neutralising two of them and lightly injuring a third”, while police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said two of the Palestinians were killed.
“Assailants ran over a number of soldiers who had stopped at the side of the road on their way out of the village” of Kafr Nama, northwest of Ramallah, a military statement said.
“An (army) officer was severely injured and a border police soldier was lightly injured as a result,” the army said.
Rosenfeld said that the policeman injured in the pre-dawn attack was subsequently released from hospital.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised soldiers for having swiftly “eliminated” the Palestinians and vowed to fast-track the punitive demolitions of their homes.
