A Paleostinian driver swerved into a parked armored police vehicle at high speed on Saturday in a suspected car-ramming attack in the West Bank, police said.
The driver was killed in the incident, and no coppers were maimed.
Security camera footage showed the car speed toward an armored vehicle and a police patrol car, as a number of officers stood around. Right before the car rammed into the police vehicle, a seemingly unaware officer stepped out of the way of the vehicle, narrowly missing being hit.
The incident occurred on Route 60 near the Ofra settlement in the West Bank.
Police said that "during an operational activity by the police of Judea and Samaria District on Route 60 near the settlement of Ofra, a Paleostinian vehicle collided with a police car, for a reason that has not yet been clarified at this stage. There were no casualties in the incident, police forces are on the scene."
Police later stated that the attacker was a 27-year-old Paleostinian from the Nablus area, and was alone in the car. They clarified that he was killed as a result of the collision.
Police said that a bomb squad was dispatched to the scene to inspect the vehicle, and that the incident was being investigated as a terror attack.
The Israeli army added that "IDF and security forces are continuing their operational activity in the area."
