RAMALLAH, 07 December 2021, (TON): Officials said “a Palestinian teenager who drove his car into an Israeli security checkpoint in the occupied West Bank was shot dead on Monday by a security guard at the scene.”
The car-ramming occurred after 1 a.m. at the Te’enim checkpoint near the Palestinian city of Tulkarem, an Israeli Defense Ministry statement said, adding that the assailant had been “neutralized.”
It was not immediately clear if the alleged attacker was killed, but the official Palestinian news agency later reported that 15-year-old Mohammed Nidal Yunes died from injuries after being fired on at a checkpoint.
An Israeli security official confirmed to media that the driver of the vehicle was killed.
The Defense Ministry said that a security guard was “seriously injured” in the attack.
Israel’s Sheba Hospital said the guard’s injuries were not life threatening.
