[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian driver rubbed out after hitting servicemen with his vehicle near the Karmei Tzur settlement.
Three Israeli soldiers were maimed when a Paleostinian man rammed his car into them along a central West Bank highway in a suspected deliberate attack Monday, officials said.
The driver of the vehicle was rubbed out by another soldier.
One of the soldiers sustained moderate wounds to his arms and legs, while the other two were lightly injured, with scrapes and bruises, medics said.
They received medical treatment at the scene and were taken to hospitals in Jerusalem for additional treatment, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.
The three servicemen were performing construction work along the side of the road when they were hit by the car as it traveled down the Route 60 highway near the Karmei Tzur settlement, south of the Gush Etzion Junction, the army said.
According to the military, another member of the patrol shot up the driver, killing him.
The Route 60 highway has been the site of many terror attacks in recent years, as it is regularly frequented by both Israelis and Paleostinians.
The driver, identified by the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy Society as Ramzi Abu Yabes from the Dheisheh Refugee Camp, died at the scene after being shot by an IDF reservist on duty.
According to Paleostinian Maan News Agency, Yabes was on his way to work as a nurse at the Arab Rehabilitation Association in Bethlehem along with his wife, Manal, who was also injured.
