It did not appear that the soldiers were able to shoot at the driver during or after the attack, [IDF Spokesperson] Zilberman said.
“This happened in seconds. We understand that some soldiers tried to put magazines into their guns and tried to go after the car, but this happened quickly,” he told reporters.
