JNS.org — A man about 20 years old was critically wounded in a terrorist truck-ramming attack near the Jewish community of Beit El in the West Bank on Wednesday morning.
Magen David Adom said that its medics and paramedics were treating the wounded pedestrian on the scene after he was hit by the truck near the Givat Assaf Junction. The vehicle was a gas tanker that smashed into a bus stop, the MDA said, adding that he was found unconscious with multiple systemic injuries.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that the terrorist was neutralized on the spot and that soldiers were manning road blocks in the area. He was named as Ail Deif Allah, 58, a resident of the Palestinian village of Rafat, southwest of Ramallah.
The terrorist was evacuated in serious condition to Hadassah Medical Center on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem.
On Monday, Israeli security forces arrested three members of a Palestinian terrorist cell that planned to attack Israelis “in the immediate time frame.”
Police arrested one of the suspects after pulling him over on the busy Route 6 highway near the Horeshim interchange.
The interchange is located near several cities in Israel’s densely-populated coastal plain.
After Shin Bet officers questioned the suspects, security forces arrested two more members of the terrorist squad at their homes in Bani Na’im, a Palestinian town some five miles east of Hebron in Judea.
A day earlier, three Israeli security guards at the Allenby Bridge crossing in the Jordan Valley were killed in a terrorist shooting.
The victims were named as Yohanan Shchori, 61, a father of six from Ma’ale Efraim; Yuri Birnbaum, 65, from Moshav Na’ama north of Jericho; and Adrian Marcelo Podsmeser, from the city of Ariel in Samaria.
On Sept. 1, three Israeli police officers were killed in a drive-by shooting near the Tarqumiya checkpoint, some 7.5 miles northwest of Hebron in Judea.
They were identified as Ch. Insp. Arik Ben Eliyahu, 37, from Kiryat Gat, who is survived by his wife and three children; Command Sgt. Maj. Hadas Branch, 53, from Moshav Sde Moshe, who is survived by her husband, three children and granddaughter; and 1st Sgt. Roni Shakuri, 61, from Sderot, who is survived by his wife, daughter and granddaughter.
Shakuri’s other daughter, 1st Sgt. Mor Shakuri, 29, was killed in Sderot on Oct. 7 while fighting Hamas terrorists attempting to take control of the city’s police station.
