Three Israeli soldiers were injured, one seriously, in a terrorist vehicular ramming attack on Tuesday evening at HaParsa Junction near the Jewish town of Dolev and the Arab village of Ein el-Arik, north of Yerushalayim.

At approximately 7 p.m., a Palestinian driver rammed his van into the soldiers who were standing by the side of the road near a security checkpoint.

Magen David Adom paramedics and IDF medical forces treated the wounded, from the Duchifat unit, at the scene and then transferred the seriously wounded to Tel Hashomer hospital.
