Driver Detained After Suspected Ramming Attempt at Tarkumiya Crossing

A reserve force detained a driver Friday after a suspected vehicle-ramming attempt at the Tarkumiya crossing. Reports said the driver was trying to escape into Judea and Samaria when he accelerated toward the checkpoint, endangering Israeli soldiers and police stationed there. The forces declared a suspected ramming attempt, stopped the vehicle and took the driver into custody. No Israeli personnel were injured, and the initial reports did not identify the suspect or say whether investigators had reached a final determination about the driver's motive.
