Attacks Across West Bank Wound Israelis, Palestinians

Multiple suspected attacks and clashes were reported across the occupied West Bank near Jerusalem on Tuesday. At the al-Khader Junction on Route 60, authorities said a Palestinian from nearby Bayt Fajar allegedly rammed a car into people at a hitchhiking station and then attempted to stab victims; two Israeli teenagers (15 and 16) were wounded and taken to Shaare Zedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals, and the attacker was shot and evacuated, according to the IDF and medics. The military said it was probing the incident, set up roadblocks and carried out searches around nearby Palestinian villages, and the highway was later reopened. Separately, a suspected car-ramming at the Jit Junction near the settlement of Kedumim left an Israeli man in his 20s seriously injured with a severe head wound and receiving treatment. Palestinian sources reported that Israeli forces shot and injured a 33-year-old man in ar-Ram near the separation wall, with medics attending the casualty. Israeli security forces and emergency responders were active across the West Bank amid the incidents and ongoing tensions in the area.
