On October 2, local time, the Israeli Defense Forces said two Palestinians had recently attempted to carry out a car strike and gunfire attack on an Israeli checkpoint on the West Bank.
The Israeli military said the attacker first tried to strike the soldiers at the checkpoint with a vehicle, and then one of them dropped out with a gun and tried to shoot the soldiers. Then the Israeli soldiers shot back, killed the Palestinian and arrested another attacker.
The Palestinian side has not yet responded to Israeli claims.
