RNA - The attack happened late Friday near the illegal Ofra settlement, northeast of the city of Ramallah, Israeli army said in a statement, AFP reproted.
The Palestinian man had reportedly attempted to run over soldiers with his car, prompting them to open fire, it added. He then got out of the vehicle brandishing a knife and troops fired again, seriously wounding him, the statement said.
