Israeli Soldier Fatally Injured in Palestinian Car Ramming Attack

An Israeli soldier was killed and two others injured when a Palestinian truck driver rammed his vehicle into them at a checkpoint between Israel and the occupied West Bank. The driver fled the scene but was later stopped and shot by security forces. The incident occurred a day after a Palestinian teenager was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer in occupied East Jerusalem. Israel has seen an increase in attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian towns and villages, while the United Nations reports that more than 200 Palestinians have been killed this year, making it the deadliest year for Palestinians since 2006.
