| [IsraelTimes] Footage shows assailant running over victim at checkpoint near Modiin, then getting out and trying to attack him with pickaxe before injured soldier shoots him An officer in the Israel Defense Forces was seriously maimed Wednesday morning in a car-ramming attack at a West Bank checkpoint east of the Israeli city of Modiin and near the West Bank settlement of Beit Horon, the military said. Footage of the incident at the "Bell" checkpoint, where Routes 4436 and 4437 from Beit Ur and Ramallah hit the major Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway Route 443, showed a van hitting the officer before the driver gets out of the car and appears to try to attack the victim with a pickaxe. The injured officer then shot the Paleostinian assailant, killing him. He was named by Paleostinian media as Habas Rayan, 54, from the West Bank village of Bayt Duqu. Israeli media said two of his sons have served time in prison for terror offenses, and one of them is still behind bars. The officer, in his 20s, was taken to the Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem, where he was listed in serious but stable condition, according to medical officials. The incident came a day after Israel’s national election, during which a closure was imposed on border crossings for Paleostinians between the West Bank and Israel. The closure of the crossings had ended at midnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. |
