IDF forces shot and killed a young Palestinian, apparently in error, and wounded two others on Monday night after Palestinian rioters threw rocks and firebombs at Israeli motorists, injuring them, and spilled oil on Route 443, a major highway connecting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Two IDF soldiers were shot and lightly wounded by Palestinian terrorists along Route 443, near Jerusalem.

Yet another Palestinian terrorist attempted to harm Israelis with his car, this time without success.

Police and security forces captured a terror cell responsible for attacking motorists traveling on a main highway. Members included minors and former prisoners.

IDF soldier Ziv Mizrahi became the 21st victim of the wave of Palestinian terror. His uncle was murdered in a 2003 Palestinian terror attack as well.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel's security forces to step up action against the mounting wave of Palestinian terror in Israel.
