Eleven were wounded in the attack, five seriously • The two terrorists, Palestinians from Hebron, were killed at the scene.

“In our estimation, ‘Oct. 7’ is expected to be a significant landmark for the terrorist groups,” the agency said.

Several men stole the victim’s phone and beat him until security forces interrupted them.

The assailant, who may have been Jordanian, was killed, and Israeli forces were scanning the area for additional terrorists.

Two officers, a male and a female, were declared dead at the scene, while a male officer in his 50s was later pronounced dead at Soroka Medical Center.

No injuries were reported in the late-night incident, but the vehicle suffered damage.

“What happened is nothing else than an overt miracle from the heavens,” said one yeshiva student.

The incident took place on a main highway some nine miles north of Jerusalem.

“We are in a kind of miracle that the incident did not end in dozens of deaths,” said Ayalon District Police Commander Haim Bublil.
