A Palestinian driver slammed his truck into pedestrians at a busy checkpoint in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, wounding three people in the latest bloodshed in a relentless cycle of violence to roil the region.
The unrest is part of more than a yearlong wave of violence that has surged to levels unseen in the West Bank in some two decades.Israeli paramedics said they were treating three people, one critically, in the aftermath of the attack. According to Israel’s Defense Ministry, the driver sped away from the area and was stopped by security guards at a separate checkpoint nearby. The attacker’s condition was not immediately clear.
Palestinian assaults against Israelis have spiked alongside Israel’s intensification of arrest raids in the West Bank since last spring. Some 30 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks against Israelis since the start of 2023.
