A car ramming attack at an IDF checkpoint in the West Bank city of Hebron lightly wounded one Israeli soldier on Saturday evening, the IDF said.
When the vehicle accelerated towards a group of soldiers, the troops shot at the suspects, killing two.
At the time of the attack, Paratrooper Brigade forces were conducting an operational activity at the checkpoint.
An initial investigation into the attack revealed that one of the Palestinians who was killed by Israeli forces at the scene was a cleaning worker who was driving another vehicle, and was not in the car that attempted to run over the soldiers.
The other Palestinian killed was a terrorist, 17, who was killed in the vehicle that was used in the attack. The vehicle had an Israeli license plate on it.
Monday's car-ramming attack in Hebron
The incident comes just five days after the last car-ramming attack in the city, on Monday evening. The attack lightly wounded a female soldier in the city's Judea Junction.
Israeli security forces located and killed the suspect of the attack after he fled from the scene.
The wounded soldier was treated at a hospital.
Last month, a ramming and stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion Junction left one 70-year-old dead and three others wounded.
Kiryat Arba resident Aharon Cohen was named as the individual killed in the attack. One woman in her 40s was severely wounded, and two others, a 30-year-old and a 15-year-old, were moderately wounded in the attack.
