An Israeli army spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment, and the extent of the Palestinian’s injuries is not yet known. “We are still fighting and will continue to do so”, he said at his weekly Cabinet meeting.
“We are facing terrorism by individuals”.
He said “citizens must be on maximum alert”.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian man tried to ram a taxi into Israelis at a West Bank junction near Jericho and then got out with a knife in hand to stab them, Israeli police said.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet next week with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the region to try to stop ongoing violence, although senior USA official insisted it was not a renewed effort to broker a peace accord. He added that the area had been cordoned off, without adding further detail.
Her father, Taha Qatanani, said his 16-year-old daughter went to school as usual in the morning and that he heard about her death two hours later.
Numerous Palestinians killed have been alleged attackers. The group is responsible for launching the recent terror attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and injured over 350 others.
It is unclear if the auto crash was an attack or an accident, however following the incident, an Israeli settler said the Palestinian exited the vehicle wielding a knife.
The Shin Bet internal security service on Sunday identified the alleged assailant as Mohammad Tarda, 18, from a village near southern West Bank city Hebron.
It also noted that many of those released on bail were being kept under house arrest.
On October 7, a Palestinian stabbed a soldier and grabbed his gun in the same city, which is near Hebron, before being shot by security forces.
The Israeli regime imposed restrictions in August on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
With the latest visit, Kerry hopes to move things in a “more positive direction” and prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, the official said.
