JERUSALEM, March 14, 2016 (AFP) - Three Palestinians carried out two attacks -- a shooting and a car-ramming -- on Israelis in the southern West Bank on Monday before they were shot dead, the Israeli army said.

"Two assailants opened fire at pedestrians waiting at a bus stop at the entrance of Kiryat Arba (near Hebron). Forces guarding the area responded and shot the assailants, resulting in their deaths," a military statement read.

"Moments later, in an additional attack, a vehicle rammed into a military vehicle responding at the scene. Forces responded to the immediate danger and shot the assailant, resulting in his death."
