The army said “a terrorist accelerated his car toward a manned military post adjacent to the community of Mevo Dotan” in the West Bank.
“IDF troops who were at the point operated to stop the assailant by firing toward the vehicle,” the statement said.
“The vehicle crashed into a military vehicle that was in close proximity to the post. As a result, the vehicles caught on fire,” it added.
An army spokesman told AFP the military believed the assailant had died as a result of gunshot wounds, but was unable to confirm this.
