First Sergeant Geri Gideon Hanghal was killed in the truck-ramming attack at a West Bank junction earlier on Wednesday, according to a statement by the Israel Defense Forces.
Hanghal was 24, from Nof HaGalil, and a fighter in the 90th Nachshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade.
The terrorist was identified as 58-year-old Hayel Issa Daifullah, a resident of Rafat near Ramallah in the West Bank. He was driving a truck carrying gas fuel when he turned the vehicle in a bus stop, killing Hanghal. Daifullah was neutralized by an Israeli soldier and armed civilian and taken into custody.
