A Palestinian assailant who was throwing firebombs and rocks at an Israeli car was shot in the West Bank on Saturday, the army said.
Two other suspects were arrested after a chase, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The military said the three Palestinians were hurling Molotov cocktails and stones at an Israeli vehicle near the settlement of Mevo Dotan. Soldiers moved to arrest them and thwart a potential terror attack, opening fire in their direction and hitting one suspect. His condition was not immediately known.
