The scene of the stabbing incident at Shilot Junction (Tafhun Sade Group)

A Palestinian car driver collided with a police car today (Saturday) on Route 60 near the Gilad farm in Samaria.

There were no casualties in the incident, the driver of the car was shot.

It will be checked if the background to the event is nationalist.

A policeman and a soldier were on the scene as part of a traffic enforcement activity on the road, when the Palestinian driver allegedly accelerated in their direction and collided with the vehicle.

The soldier responded by shooting and hitting the suspect.

Since yesterday, Golani patrol forces have been reinforcing the Samaria sector ahead of Rosh Hashanah and the Tishrei holidays, in accordance with the assessment of the situation in the IDF and against the background of the fear of terrorist attacks. At the same time, due to the fear of terrorist attacks, the commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, Avi Belot, decided to change the method of departure of soldiers for vacations, who will now stay 17 days at the base And four days at home, instead of 11 days at the base and three at home. Also, the IDF is increasing the security of the main roads, intersections, settlements and the seam line by combining police, security forces and the Shin Bet.

Security officials said that alongside the arrests of terrorist operatives, monitoring of social networks has been carried out in recent weeks, in order to locate those with the potential to carry out an attack.

This, when in the last month there was an attack or an attempted shooting attack every day throughout Judea and Samaria, while there was a decrease in the number of Palestinians shot to death by IDF fire.
