Israel stopped two terror attempts in Judea and Samaria on Tuesday as Palestinian terrorists attempted to strike Israeli security forces near Hebron and in the Jordan Valley.

The attempted attacker in Hebron was fatally shot, according to the Israel police, as the driver hit his car against an Israeli Civil Administration vehicle. No Israeli personnel were injured.

Meanwhile, the driver behind the terrorist effort in the Jordan Valley was shot at by security forces and injured. He received medical treatment and is under arrest.

The incidents occurred two days after seven Israelis were injured on Sunday in a drive-by shooting at a bus stop near the town of Ofra.
