  Israeli forces raid West Bank home of Palestinian man over car-ramming attack

  More details are emerging on the car-ramming attack near the settlement of Givat Assaf, in the occupied West Bank.

  Al Jazeera correspondent Nida Ibrahim, reporting from the scene of the incident, said the Israeli forces raided the house of the driver, a 58-year-old man from the town of Rafat, southwest Ramallah.

  The truck rammed into a military checkpoint near the settlement of Givat Assaf injuring two Israeli soldiers stationed there, one of them critically.
