shooting at the Hizma checkpointThree Israelis, two of them members of Israel’s security forces, were wounded in two separate incidents in the West Bank and in Jerusalem on Thursday. In a third incident, an Israeli vehicle came under fire near the Psagot settlement in the West Bank, but none were hurt.

Ten bullets hit the car that was driving through the Binyamin region. IDF troops were searching the area for the perpetrators.

In the afternoon hours, an Israeli policeman was stabbed and light-to-moderately wounded near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. The attacker, aged 21 from Tulkarm, was shot dead.

The attacker approached a police officer sitting in his car on HaNevi’im Street in Jerusalem, drew out a knife and stabbed the policeman. The policeman fought the attacker, and his fellow officers, who saw the ongoing struggle, opened fire and shot the attacker dead.

… The 35-year-old wounded policeman suffered a stab wound to his hand and a gunshot wound to his leg, the latter likely caused by Israeli forces’ fire when working to neutralize the terrorist.

Magen David Adom paramedics evacuated the wounded policeman to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in the capital, where he was taken into surgery.

Earlier in the day, a 47-year-old Israeli man was moderately wounded and a soldier was lightly wounded when [an Arab terrorist] opened fire on them from a moving car near the Hizma checkpoint outside of Jerusalem.

The terrorist, who was shot dead on the scene, was later revealed to be an officer in the [so-called] “Palestinian security forces”.

The moderately wounded man was evacuated to Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem’s Ein Karem, while the soldier was treated on the scene.
