A Palestinian man carried out a car-ramming operation near Jericho in the occupied West Bank on Sunday afternoon injuring a number of Jewish settlers according to initial news reports.
The driver was shot dead by Israeli security forces. He was identified as 49-year-old Barkat Odeh from the east Jerusalem town of al-Eizariya according to the Hebrew media.
Israeli medical sources said that five Israelis in their 20s suffered different injuries after a Palestinian driver rammed his car into them on a road in southern Jericho.
The Israeli occupation police explained that the driver first rammed some Israelis near Nabi Musa village and then continued driving and plowed into a bus stop at Almog Junction injuring others.
The injured settlers were reportedly evacuated to hospitals in Occupied Jerusalem.
