A terrorist attempted to carry out a ramming attack at the Gitai Avisar Junction next to the city of Ariel in the Shomron on Thursday evening.

The attempt failed, with the terrorist accidentally damaging a Palestinian car. The terrorist then exited his vehicle and ran toward a police officer with a knife.

An IDF soldier stationed at the junction shot and killed the terrorist before he could stab anyone.

B’Chasdei Hashem, no Israelis were injured. One woman was treated for shock.
