By Saeed Amouri

JERUSALEM (AA) – Two Israelis were slightly injured in a car-ramming attack in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to Israeli media.

The attack took place near the Giv'on settlement northwest of Jerusalem, the Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.

The suspected attacker was shot dead by Israeli police.

The attack came hours after at least seven Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces bombed a public gathering in the city of Jenin early Sunday.

Tensions have been running high across the West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 330 Palestinians have since been killed in the occupied territory, according to Health Ministry data.
