The military says the Palestinian driver attacked Israeli security forces near the southern city of Hebron on Friday.
Hebron has been a flashpoint in the last three months of near-daily Palestinian attacks.
Since mid-September, Palestinians have killed 19 Israelis. At least 109 Palestinians have died by Israeli fire; 73 of them said by Israel to be attackers while the others died in clashes with security forces.
Israel blames incitement by political and religious leaders for the violence. Palestinians say the attacks stem from despair at Israel’s occupation.

The press is obsessed with demonizing Israel and the Jews. Why do they not publish the “minor” terrorist activities in other countries or ever mention the kill count in other places with the same frequency as they do in Israel?
