Israeli troops shot dead a knife-wielding Palestinian assailant in the occupied West Bank on Friday, the army said.
Citing an initial investigation, it said in a statement that the man had arrived at a junction near the Jewish settlement of Ariel in a car, got out and "armed with a knife, ran toward the bus station where civilians and IDF soldiers were standing".
The Palestinian health ministry identified the dead man as a resident of Qarawet Bani Hassan, a nearby village.
The Israeli army said it was pursuing whoever else was in the vehicle, which had fled the scene.
The West Bank has seen sporadic violence since U.S.-sponsored talks on founding a Palestinian state alongside Israel stalled in 2014.
