    Police said that the attacker suddenly jumped out of his car at a Border Police position and ran at the forces stationed there with a knife in his hand. The forces responded by shooting him. Large numbers of Border Police forces and IDF soldiers arrived at the site following the attack.

    The incident happened at the same place where a number of Israelis were wounded in an attempted vehicular ramming attack on Tuesday.

    Three soldiers and a Border Police officer were wounded in that attack.

    A colonel and a lieutenant-colonel from the IDF Engineering Corps were among the injured. They were in the area on foot to examine altering the infrastructure at the junction as part of wider steps to beef up security.

    Paramedics treated one of the wounded for moderate injuries in the head and stomach. Three other victims were treated for light wounds.
