A little after noon today, three IDF servicemen doing construction work along the side of the road were struck by a car driven by a Palestinian Arab male.
This happened on Route 60 as that highway passes Karmei Tzur, an Israeli community of about 1,100, located 22 km south of Jerusalem, just south of Gush Etzion Junction.
The IDF says one has moderate injuries to all four limbs while the others are injured lightly – scrapes and bruises. All were treated at the scene by ambulance crews and then taken to hospitals in Jerusalem for treatment.
This is believed by the military to have been a deliberate vehicle-ramming attack. A fourth soldier fired at the driver and killed him. In the Arab media, he’s named as Ramzi Abu Yabes, a resident of Dheisheh refugee camp.
