A Palestinian driver was killed and his body burned when his car went up into flames after he allegedly attempted a car-ramming attack in the northern West Bank. The car sped toward soldiers at a military guard post near the settlement of Mevo Dotan on Tuesday night. The soldiers fired on the vehicle and “neutralized” the driver, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

The fire reportedly started when a military vehicle caught on fire from the bullets shot by the soldiers at the alleged attacker.
It is the latest in a series of attacks in the West Bank and Jerusalem. On Thursday night, Palestinian gunmen killed Yehuda Dimentman, a 25-year-old father of a toddler, near the West Bank outpost of Homesh.
