A Palestinian citizen accelerated his vehicle towards troops and breached a checkpoint, the Israeli army asserted in a statement.
The statement added that the suspect fled the scene, and troops launched a manhunt for the driver.
According to Hebrew-language media outlets, the two soldiers were injured in the limbs and head following the car-ramming attack.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli forces stormed al-Khader after the incident and closed it off.
Israeli forces imposed a tight siege on the town, and were firing live bullets at anyone moving there, the agency said.
