Jerusalem, Nov 7 (IANS): A Palestinian man was shot and killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank after allegedly attempting a car-ramming and stabbing attack, according to a statement by the Israeli military.

The military said on Wednesday that the suspect drove into civilians at Shiloh Junction, north of the city of Ramallah, Xinhua news agency reported.

"He then exited the vehicle and attempted to carry out a stabbing attack," the statement said.

An armed civilian passerby fatally shot the suspect, with the military later confirming his death at the scene.
