JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Palestinian man suspected of running over three Israeli soldiers turned himself in.

Hamam Mesalmeh turned himself in Thursday at around noon. Several members of Mesalmeh’s family, including his father, had been arrested earlier in the day in connection with the attack, during a search of his home located in the village of Beit Awa, near Hebron.

Mesalmeh reportedly had been identified through his van’s registration.

Israel Police and the military had set up roadblocks and searched the area following the Wednesday night attack in which a white van drove through a West Bank traffic junction in Gush Etzion, injuring three soldiers. The driver escaped in his vehicle heading south, according to reports.

The van was later found by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank village of Al Aroub, near the Gush Etzion junction where the terror attack had taken place.

It was the second attack on Wednesday by a Palestinian using his vehicle as a weapon, and the third in two weeks. Earlier in the day, a Palestinian-driving car plowed into a light rail stop in Jerusalem, killing one and injuring 13.  On Oct. 22, a Palestinian driver plowed into a crowd of people at a light rail station on Ammunition Hill in northern Jerusalem, killing a 3-month-old girl who was a dual American-Israeli citizen and a tourist from Ecuador.

Also Thursday, thousands of people attended the funeral of Israel Border Police officer Jidan Assad, 38, from the Druze village of Beit Jaan, who was killed in the Wednesday morning attack. He leaves behind his wife, who is pregnant, and a 3-year-old son.
