Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian driver in the West bank on Tuesday after he plunged his vehicle into three of their colleagues, Euronews reports.
In the past year, 28 Israelis and two US citizens visiting the country have died in Palestinian attacks. At least 194 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces.
One of the three injured soldiers hurt in Tuesday's incident was left in a life threatening condition.
The current violence is due to Palestinian bitterness over stalled statehood negotiations, the rise in number of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, increased Jewish access to a disputed Jerusalem shrine and Islamist-led calls for the destruction of the state of Israel.
But the tempo of what had been almost daily Palestinian attacks since October has de facto slowed. According to Israel, the slowed pace is due to Jerusalem's deeper cooperation with Palestinian security forces in the West Bank and closer monitoring of social media to identify potential assailants.
Elsewhere in Jerusalem an Israeli man, Ben David, whose killing of a Palestinian teenager contributed to triggering the 2014 Gaza war, was sentenced to life in prison.
Sixteen-year-old Mohammed Abu Khudair was bludgeoned, strangled and then burned alive by three Israelis who have now all been sent to jail .
The defendants said Abu Khudair's murder was a revenge killing for the deaths of three Israeli youths by Hamas militants.
