Israeli soldiers on Monday evening opened fire at a Palestinian car in al-Khalil and were about to kill its driver at the pretext he was intending to carry out a ramming attack.
Hebrew media sources claimed the driver tried to ram his car into a group of soldiers near al-Zahed area in al-Khalil prompting the latter to open fire at him. They added that the driver escaped the area.
However a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army denied the incident was a car-ramming attack affirming that the driver failed to respond to the soldiers who ordered him to stop and panicked after his car was shot at.
