Members of the Israel Defense Forces foiled an attempted car-ramming attack outside the Arab village of At-Tuwani in the South Hebron Hills of Judea on Monday. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Troops fired at the female terrorist after she accelerated toward them, the army said. The terrorist was “neutralized” and detained for questioning by security services.

On Nov. 13, two Israelis were lightly wounded in a vehicular attack outside the Arab village of Deir Qaddis, near Modi’in in the Binyamin region of western Samaria. The attack reportedly took place at the Hashmonaim Crossing near Modi’in Illit, the largest Israeli city in Judea and Samaria.

The previous day, a Palestinian terrorist tried to stab IDF soldiers outside the Arab town of Deir Sharaf, near Nablus in central Samaria. No injuries were reported in the incident.

On Nov. 11, two Israeli soldiers were lightly and moderately injured in a car-ramming attack at a military checkpoint near Bethlehem in Judea. Two terrorists fled the scene but surrendered to Israeli security forces following a manhunt.

On Nov. 6, two Israelis were lightly injured in a combined car-ramming and stabbing attack at a bus stop near the town of Shiloh in southern Samaria. The terrorist was killed on the scene by an armed civilian.

In the first six months of 2024, Judea and Samaria saw more than 500 Arab terrorist attacks each month on average, according to data made public by Hatzalah Judea and Samaria (Rescuers Without Borders).

During that period, first responders recorded 3,272 acts of terrorism in the region, including 1,868 cases of rock-throwing, 456 attacks with Molotov cocktails, 299 explosive charges and 109 shootings.

Terrorists murdered 14 people and wounded more than 155 others in Judea and Samaria between January and July, the rescue group said.
