Israeli ambassador to US says his son was injured in West Bank car-ramming attack
A Palestinian was shot dead following the incident, which Israel's ambassador said involved his son, a soldier.
Israel's ambassador to the United States said his son, an Israeli soldier, was injured in a car-ramming incident in the occupied West Bank, according to Al Jazeera.
The report said a Palestinian was shot dead following the incident, though Al Jazeera's report did not provide additional details on the exact circumstances of the shooting or the identity of the Palestinian who was killed.
Car-ramming incidents and subsequent shootings have occurred periodically in the West Bank amid ongoing tensions between Israeli security forces and Palestinian residents in the territory.
The ambassador's public identification of his son as one of the soldiers involved in the incident drew attention to the case, though Al Jazeera's report did not include further comment from Israeli officials on the broader circumstances.
The West Bank has seen a rise in violent incidents in recent years, including attacks against Israeli soldiers and settlers as well as Israeli military operations that have resulted in Palestinian deaths.
