Three Israelis were injured on Thursday in a Palestinian car ramming in the northern West Bank, Israeli police said, the latest in more than two months of attacks.
"There are three wounded at the site with various degrees of wounds," a police statement said. "A vehicle fled from the scene."
The army said that the incident took place near the Jewish settlement of Beit Aryeh.
"Security forces are searching the area," a military statement said.
Since October 1, almost daily attacks and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers have killed 113 on the Palestinian side, 17 Israelis, an American and an Eritrean.
On Wednesday, four Israelis were wounded in two attacks in the occupied West Bank, including a soldier and a civilian stabbed in Hebron by a Palestinian who was later shot dead.
In the other incident, assailants shot at a car near the West Bank town of Tulkarem, wounding two Israelis.
US President Barack Obama used a White House visit by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Wednesday to call for steps to prevent a deeper crisis between Israel and the Palestinians.
"I've been very clear in condemning the violence that is recurring inside of Israel, the need for leaders like (Palestinian) president (Mahmud) Abbas to unequivocally condemn the violence that has been taking place and the need to end incitement," Obama said.
The spike in violence has left Washington policymakers worried that the Palestinian Authority may collapse and that more frustrated Palestinians will turn to violence.
