An IDF soldier was critically injured, in a ramming attack at a bus stop at the Givat Asaf junction on Route 60 near Beit El in Binyamin on Wednesday morning.
A terrorist driving a gas tanker rammed into the bus stop, hitting the soldier. A civilian at the scene opened fire at the terrorist, neutralizing him. The victim was treated at the scene and evacuated to the hospital.
Firefighters arrived at the scene to ensure the safety of rescue forces due to the tanker’s hazardous material, setting up water lines to secure the area in case of a gas leak. They then performed checks to rule out a gas or fuel leak from the tanker. The fire team also coordinated with bomb sappers and IDF and police forces to prepare a plan to safely clear the scene and evacuate the gas tanker.
The terrorist, who was later identified as a 58-year-old Palestinian resident of a village near Ramallah, was evacuated, fully conscious, in serious but stable condition to Shaare Tzedek Hospital.
IDF forces were deployed to the area following the attack and set up roadblocks in the area.

As Abba Ebban said: “Peace will come when the Palestinians love their children more than they hate the Jews”.
This truck driver was a lucky one to have a job to feed his family, but killing a Jew was more important to him – and the world still believes in a 2-state solution.
On this sombre yahrzeit, when America was violently awakened out of its naivete about the nature of Islamic violence, let the US also realize what Israel experienced Oct 7 and every day since. Just as there were no calls to forgive and perhaps offer humanitarian aid to the vicious enemy, so too, the Americans have to cease and desist from talking about a 2 state solution and restoring the “dignity” of the Palestinians by giving them self-determination.
How dare Israel 🇮🇱 spend even 2 penny on hospitalization for this brutal savage
