2 soldiers moderately wounded, while 6 others sustain light injuries

Eight Israeli soldiers were injured in a car-ramming attack in central Israel on Thursday, the army said.

A military statement said that two soldiers were moderately wounded while six others sustained light injuries in Kfar Yona.

Israeli police said a driver rammed his vehicle into passengers waiting to catch a bus near Beit Lid junction.

Police said that it has launched a manhunt for the driver.

Since the start of Israel's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and demanded the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
