An attempted car-ramming attack overnight between Friday and Saturday in the village of Sebastia, near Nablus in the West Bank, was stopped by Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli forces responded with live fire toward the vehicle, killing the driver. Another suspect in the car was injured and arrested.
According to the Israeli military, the troops were carrying out a counter-terror operation in Sebastia, when the Palestinian-owned car sped toward the soldiers, attempting to run them over.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the driver of the car, 18-year-old Fawzi Hani Makhalfa, was brought to the Rafidia Hospital in Nablus where he was declared dead.
