The terrorist, who was badly injured himself, managed to injure three Israeli soldiers who were sitting inside the vehicle.
A Palestinian terrorist crashed his car into an Israeli army truck on Wednesday afternoon at the entrance to the community of Neve Daniel in the Gush Etzion bloc south of Jerusalem.
The military vehicle overturned, lightly wounding three IDF soldiers who received first aid at the scene from Magen David Adom paramedics. The soldiers, two men and one woman, were taken to Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem.
The Palestinian terrorist, who suffered a serious head injury in the collision, was also treated at the scene and taken to the hospital.
While initial reports indicated that the collision was accidental, members of the security forces and witnesses at the scene soon suspected that the terrorist had deliberately rammed his car into the IDF vehicle. An hour after the collision took place, police and army officials said that it was being treated as a terror attack.

Petition to the United States and European Union
We demand that all funding of the PA be stopped immediately. The brutal murder of Israelis committed by Palestinian terrorists throughout Israel is the latest result of ongoing PA incitement against Israeli citizens. Funding the PA means funding terror.
