The IDF and Israeli security forces have arrested over 1,600 terror suspects and have prevented hundreds of terror attacks in the five months since the commencement of Operation Wave Breaker, Israel’s counterterrorism operation launched in May following several deadly terror attacks that left 20 Israelis dead.

In the meantime, the police are still investigating an apparent vehicular ramming attack that occurred on Tuesday afternoon in the Binyamin region.

The IDF stated that during a joint operation with the police, the security forces stopped for inspection an Arab vehicle near the Israeli community of Ofra.

The suspect tried to flee the scene while accelerating his vehicle in an attempt to run over the security forces, who fired at the vehicle. A police officer was injured in his leg and taken to a hospital for medical treatment.

The vehicle was caught at a nearby checkpoint with the suspect inside, who was injured as a result of the shooting.

The police said that the investigation is still ongoing.
