- Story Text: A Palestinian driver rammed his vehicle into a group of Israeli soldiers near the West Bank city of Hebron on Tuesday (July 18) and was shot dead by the troops, the Israeli military said.
There was no immediate comment from Palestinian officials. Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said two of the soldiers were slightly wounded.
A wave of Palestinian street attacks that began in 2015 has slowed but has not stopped. At least 261 Palestinians and one Jordanian citizen have been killed since the violence began. Israel says at least 176 of those killed were carrying out attacks while others died in clashes and protests.
Forty Israelis, two U.S. tourists and a British student have been killed in Palestinian stabbings, shootings and car-rammings. A few of the attacks had been carried out by Arab Israeli citizens. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
