Israelis kill Palestinian motorist after alleged car ramming

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian motorist who allegedly rammed his car into a bus stop in the occupied West Bank and wounded five soldiers. It was the latest in a monthslong wave of violence that shows no signs of slowing. Sunday’s incident came a day after a Palestinian gunman killed an Israeli man near a Jewish settlement in the West Bank. Dramatic security camera video showed the assailant firing an assault rifle outside a gorcery before a security guard rammed him with a truck and an off-duty police officer fatally shot him. In a standard punitive action, the Israeli military prepared the gunman’s home for demolition. The violence comes two days before Israel holds national elections.
