Two people have been injured after reportedly being struck by a car in the West Bank on Friday afternoon.

The United Hatzalah emergency service said its volunteers were heading to the site of what it called a “ramming attack”.

The incident reportedly occurred at a junction near the Gush Etzion block of settlements on Highway 60, the main north-south road running through the West Bank.

Ambulances and Israeli armed forces were are the scene.

Hatzalah said the driver had been “neutralised”.

A spokesman for the service said: “United Hatzalah volunteers treated two people injured by a car at Eleazar junction: one teen unconscious and in serious condition, a second suffering light injuries. Both were transported to the hospital for further care.”

The incident took place a little over a week after yeshiva student Dvir Sorek, an active member of an interfaith relations group, was stabbed and killed in the Gush Etzion region.
