A Palestinian man was shot and killed last night after ramming a tractor into an IDF base, in what the army is describing as a suspected terror attack.

The incident happened at the IDF’s Rama Base, which is just just north of Jerusalem, next to the Palestinian neighbourhood of Al-Ram.

According to reports, Younis Radeideh approached the main gate in the early evening. After being denied entry, he rammed the tractor through the barriers and tried to run over soldiers, before being shot dead.

Mr Radeideh’s brother was involved in a similar attack in 2009, when he tried to run over police officers in Jerusalem with a bulldozer.
