JERUSALEM (AA) - Four Israelis were injured in a car-ramming attack in central Israel on Sunday, according to the military.

Israeli public broadcaster KAN said a driver rammed his vehicle into people waiting at a bus station at the Nir Tzvi Junction in the city of Tzrifin near Tel Aviv.

Israel's national ambulance service Magen David Adom said two of the injured were in serious condition.

The Israeli army confirmed that the four people injured in the attack were soldiers.

A military statement said that the suspected attacker, a resident of East Jerusalem, was shot dead by Border Police officers.

Tensions have been high across the occupied West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip, which has killed nearly 38,600 victims since Oct. 7.

At least 574 Palestinians, including at least 136 children, have since been killed and nearly 5,350 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its military operation in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
