A third occupant of the vehicle has been arrested and taken in for questioning.
The attempted ramming attack occured at approximately 3:30am as Israeli security forces were dismantling an illegal weapons production facility in the village of a-Ram.
Home made weapons have been featured in many attacks during the recent wave of terror, including in the Sarona Market attack and the killing of Border Policewoman Hadar Cohen
