"During the secret operation in the Amari refugee camp, a Palestinian man drove his car into an armored vehicle belonging to Israel's Border Police," the police said.

The police added that after storming the vehicle, the Palestinian man exited his car and tried to attack the troops with a knife. The servicemen then opened fire on the attacker.
