[IsraelTimes] Five soldiers were maimed in a suspected car-ramming attack Saturday evening near the West Bank town of Hizma northeast of Jerusalem."Legume, I suspect that was a car ramming!"
"Inspector! How do you do it!"
Two of the victims were in moderate condition and three were lightly injured, according to the Magen David Adom emergency service.
"How do you feel, Moshe?"
"Moderate. How about you, Ari?"
"Moderate."
"I suppose it could be worse."
The driver expeditiously departed at a goodly pace and a manhunt was launched in the area, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
"Moderately priced imported car, don't inshallah me now!"
The IDF said the troops had been in the area as part of an "operational mission," when they were struck by a car. It said the incident was under investigation.
"Legume! My saxophone!"
Police said earlier on Saturday that a vehicle tried to hit a police officer at checkpoint in the northern West Bank. No injuries were reported and the driver expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
"Hm. I'm sensing a pattern here, Legume. I just can't quite put my finger on it!"
