The guard was hit by a vehicle traveling from the Paleostinian side, the officials said. Security forces at the checkpoint shot and "neutralized" the driver, the officials said. Hebrew media reports said he was killed. Magen David Adom medics said the guard, 34, was in a serious, but stable condition with head and chest injuries and was conscious.

The incident comes just over a day after two Border Police officers rubbed out a Paleostinian assailant after he stabbed a Jewish civilian in a suspected terror attack near the Old City of Jerusalem.
