Road rage, 'Palestinian' style

Unfortunately, this is not very funny. In another setting, this might be called a road rage incident, or might be an attempt to steal the car. Not in this country. It's an attempt to murder a group of IDF soldiers.

Update: Pal. threw rocks at army car near Bethlehem. Soldiers exited car after it was hit. Pal. ran them over. 5 soldiers injured

Did the soldiers exit with their weapons, and if so, why didn't they use them? Let me guess: They weren't allowed to under the open fire rules. If yes, the open fire rules need to be changed. This is the second time that's happened in two days (the subject of that link was denied a weapons permit because...).
