Inbar Avraham Kav, 20, of the Paratroopers Brigade’s 890th Battalion, died Sunday after being critically wounded in what the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described as a car-ramming and shooting attack in the northern West Bank.
Kav, from the northern town of Lotem, sustained a severe head injury when a Palestinian driver rammed his truck into troops at the Jit Junction, near the Palestinian town of Jit and the Israeli settlement of Kedumim.
The IDF said the incident began when the attacker accelerated toward soldiers stationed at the junction, striking Kav before crashing into another vehicle.
Troops opened fire, killing the driver, who Israeli defense officials identified as a resident of Nablus.
The group has often voiced support for assaults on Israeli troops and civilians in the West Bank during the ongoing war in Gaza.
