Officials say the driver was killed and a passenger in the vehicle was wounded Monday in the incident outside the Shufat refugee camp.
The wounded Palestinian has been identified as Ali Nimir, 28; he was shot with a live round in his thigh, and was moved to Hadassah Israeli medical center in Jerusalem.
The Israeli army said one of its soldiers was injured, reportedly by Palestinian fire, during the invasion.
Last week a Palestinian of 18 was arrested at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron with a knife, and an investigation found he had meant to stab Israelis there to avenge the death of an uncle shot during a stabbing attack of half a year ago.
Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities. The Palestinians say it stems from frustration over decades of occupation.
