When the driver of the vehicle did not respond to the officers’ calls to stop and continued driving in their direction, the police officers responded by opening fire at the vehicle. One of the occupants of the car, a Palestinian Arab resident of Hizme in his 20s, was seriously injured and evacuated for medical treatment. The police arrested another suspect who was sitting in the suspicious vehicle. Related articles: 18 years for teenage terrorist who murdered Sgt.
