The soldiers had exited the vehicle after it was struck by rocks.

The Palestinian driver was shot while carrying out the attack and taken to a Jerusalem hospital for treatment.

In a separate incident Wednesday, a rocket fired from Gaza landed in an open field in southern Israel. No damage or injuries were reported.
