A Palestinian was killed Wednesday when Israeli troops fired on his car, causing it to explode, as he allegedly tried to run a roadblock in the Jordan Valley, Israeli military sources said.
Israeli police fired at the man's car, causing it to explode, when he allegedly refused to stop at a roadblock checking traffic coming from Nablus, the military sources said, cited by AFP.
An Israeli soldier at the roadblock was slightly wounded in the leg during the incident.
But Israeli media reports said that the man was killed when he detonated a car bomb after refusing to stop.
Security forces and emergency medical teams are on their way to the scene of the bombing, said the Jerusalem Post – Albawaba.com
