Four Israelis were wounded in a collision between two vehicles near the Psagot settlement in the West Bank on Saturday night, that police later ruled out was a vehicular terror attack.
Security forces were not sure at first that it was a terror attack, believing it to have been a car accident. However, following the suspicious movement of the Palestinian's vehicle at the entrance to Psagot, Judea and Samaria District police determined that it was in fact a vehicular attack.
- Three Israelis were lightly wounded and one moderately wounded in the attack. The Palestinian attacker was killed in the collision.
Yisrael Ganz, deputy head of the Binyamin Regional Council and a resident of Psagot, said Saturday night that "the vigilance of the guards at the entrance gate most likely prevented a much more serious attack.
"A Palestinian terrorist armed with giant knife tried to enter the settlement with a car that has Israeli license plates. Following a security check done by the settlement's guard, he turned to the settlement's access road and intentionally hit the car of a resident of Psagot head on.
"We have been the victim of terrorist attacks on a dialy basis for weeks now, in the form of stones and Molotov cocktails. We call the government to restore deterrence and protect Psagot immediately."
