A suspected attempted car ramming occurred on Friday near the Tarqumiyah crossing north of Hebron in the West Bank.

The driver reportedly tried to run over police officers stationed at a planned checkpoint and then fled into the West Bank.

IDF forces are searching the area for the suspect.

An IDF reserve unit at the Tarqumiyah crossing stopped a vehicle suspected of involvement in the incident. Police inspection later confirmed that the seized vehicle was not the one used in the attempted ramming.

Security forces continue operations to locate the driver and clarify the circumstances of the incident.

A separate attempted car ramming took place near Hebron weeks earlier

At the start of July IDF soldiers responded to another attempted car ramming near Hebron in Beit Ummar.

IDF troops and West Bank security crossing personnel caught the suspect believed to be a Bedouin citizen of Israel near the Metzadot Yehuda crossing.

The suspect was transferred to police for further handling.

According to reports he tried to attack an Israeli citizen on a farm near Beit Ummar and attempted to run him over while escaping.

No one was injured in the incident the IDF said in a statement.
