A Palestinian terrorist was killed on Saturday after crashing into a police vehicle near the West Bank settlement of Ofra. A police officer exited the vehicle seconds before the Palestinian drove his car forcefully into it.
"A short while ago, a Palestinian terrorist attempted to carry out a terror attack by accelerating toward a police vehicle at the entrance of Ofra," the IDF said in a statement.
"The terrorist was neutralized. No IDF injuries were reported. The incident is under review, and the IDF along with Israeli security forces are continuing operational activities in the area."
He was later identified as a resident of Nablus who was killed in the crash.
