A Palestinian man who allegedly carried out a car-ramming attack in the northern West Bank town of Huwara on May 21, injuring a soldier, turned himself in two days later, the military says.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, Naim Daras Hassan Daras, 34, a resident of Ramallah, turned himself in to Israeli security forces on May 23.

In the alleged attack, Daras “accelerated and rammed” into a soldier in Huwara, wounding him, before fleeing the scene. The soldier was hospitalized in moderate condition.

The IDF says Daras is being questioned by the Shin Bet over the alleged attack.
