The post quoted Israeli Defense Forces as saying the two who were injured are in "serious condition."
Their identities could not be immediately confirmed.
But several Palestinian tweets said that the targets were Israeli settlers and that the attacker was a Palestinian who managed to "escape the area successfully."
One video showed Israeli rescue teams performing CPR on one of the injured, who was lying on the ground between vehicles.
