The IDF launched an extensive search involving ground forces, drones, and helicopters, along with temporary roadblocks and closures. The suspect, a resident of nearby Ar Ram, surrendered at a West Bank outpost and was taken into Shin Bet custody for interrogation.
Authorities have not released a motive but described the attack as deliberate amid rising tensions across the West Bank.
The incident follows another ramming on the same route days earlier that wounded five soldiers, underscoring continued security volatility. Palestinian officials cite intensifying Israeli raids and settler violence as driving renewed unrest, while the United Nations has urged de-escalation, noting a record 264 settler attacks in October alone.
