A Palestinian man has driven a car into people next to a bus stop near a settlement in the occupied West Bank, killing an Israeli soldier and wounding another, officials said.
The incident near the Israeli settlement of Ofra north of Ramallah occurred just a few days before the start of the Jewish Passover holiday, raising fears of an upsurge in violence.
The military named the dead soldier as 20-year-old Sergeant Elchai Teharlev. A spokeswoman said the wounded man was also a soldier, but did not comment on his condition.
The Israeli army said the alleged attacker had been arrested but gave no details about him.
