A senior Israeli security source said Thursday that the IDF was examining the possibility that what has been referred to as a ramming terror attack that wounded three soldiers on Wednesday night in the West Bank, may have in fact been a hit-and-run accident.
The first suspect, believed to be an abettor of the driver of the vehicle who hit the soldiers, was arrested by the Combat Engineering Corps' 603rd Battalion in Bet Awa, in the South Mount Hebron region on Wednesday night soon after the incident.
On Thursday morning, the driver of the van turned himself in, security forces said.
A senior security source said one of the directions being examined is that the incident was a hit-and-run accident, and that the suspects did not intend to strike the soldiers.
