The motorist was detained shortly after and was being treated for light injuries, it said without detailing how the injuries were caused.

The Israeli military did not immediately confirm the reported casualties or elaborate on their identities. It said on Twitter that the driver had carried out “a terrorist ramming attack against an (army) unit that was on a road-protection mission”.
