A Palestinian driver struck and lightly injured an Israeli man near the Ataret settlement in the Benjamin region on Thursday evening. Initial investigations by the IDF suggest the driver was attempting to flee from youths who were disrupting Palestinian vehicle traffic on the road. The driver fled the scene, prompting a pursuit by IDF and police forces. Several hours later, the driver surrendered to the police. While initially suspected to be a vehicular attack, security officials now believe it was not intentional. The investigation indicates that youths from a nearby outpost were blocking Palestinian vehicles and attempting to impede their passage. During this incident, one of the Palestinian vehicles hit one of the youths, apparently as the driver tried to escape. The injured Israeli was evacuated for medical treatment and reported to be in light condition. The IDF stated that forces responded to a report of a suspect hitting an Israeli civilian with his vehicle, causing injury and requiring medical evacuation. Forces initiated a pursuit and established roadblocks in the area and surrounding villages in an attempt to locate the suspect.
