Jerusalem, 24 November, 2015 (TPS) -- Four Israeli soldiers, among them senior officers, were wounded on Tuesday morning in a car ramming attack at Tapuach Junction in Samaria, near the town of Ariel.
A Palestinian driver entered the junction at around 8:20 AM, and rammed a group of soldiers at a hitchhiking stop. The attack left three men lightly wounded in their limbs, and another man moderately wounded, all remaining fully conscious. They were transported to Beilinson hospital in Petach Tikva.
The attacker, identified as Azmi Nafa, 21-years-old from Jenin, was shot and seriously wounded. He was evacuated in a military ambulance to the same hospital to undergo surgery.
Later in the morning, a Palestinian man was caught with a knife next to the central bus station in Jerusalem, possibly planning to carry out a stabbing attack. The suspect was apprehended.
