A Palestinian shot Friday near Hebron inside a vehicle was trying to run over Israeli soldiers when they opened fire on the car, the troops said. A Palestinian woman who was with the driver was critically wounded in the shooting, the Maan news agency reported. A knife was found in the car, the army said in a statement.
Also Friday, in eastern Jerusalem, Israeli troops shot and killed a man reported to be a Jordanian citizen who allegedly was trying to carry out a stabbing attack outside the Damascus Gate.
On Thursday, a 30-year-old Palestinian, Muhammad Ahmad Abed al-Fattah al-Sarrahin, died of gunshot wounds he sustained during a clash earlier in the day with Israeli forces that raided his village of Beit Ula in the southern West Bank district of Hebron.
