A Palestinian driver accelerated his vehicle and hit an empty police car at a gas station near Eli in the northern West Bank, Israel Police reported Saturday morning.
The IDF confirmed that the car ramming was an attempted terror attack shortly after the police’s initial report.
There were no injuries in the incident.
The Palestinian driver was arrested and is currently being questioned.
In February, there was a terror attack in Eli in which two Israelis were murdered, and the three terrorists who perpetrated the attack were killed.
