  • Story Text: Three Israelis were wounded when they were rammed by a car in the West Bank on Wednesday (November 5), an ambulance service official said, the second such attack of the day.
    Zaki Heller of the Magen David Adom ambulance service said a vehicle slammed into three people and they were being treated at the scene.
    One was in a serious condition.
    Another Israeli official identified them as soldiers.
    CCTV footage captured the moment the driver rammed his vehicle into the roadside, dragging the three soldiers along.
    It happened near the Palestinian refugee camp of El-Aroub in the southern West Bank near the Gush Etzion settlement bloc.
    Earlier on Wednesday, a Palestinian rammed pedestrians in Jerusalem and killed one Israeli before he was shot dead.
    The incident occurred after fierce clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians at the entrance to the 8th-century al-Aqsa mosque, Islam's third most sacred place.
    Palestinian officials said Israeli forces had crossed the threshold of the mosque for the first time since 1967.
    Israeli police denied going into the house of worship.
