Police officer lightly hurt in Jordan Valley shooting; Palestinian gunman killed
|
[IsraelTimes] A Border Police officer was lightly hurt during an exchange of fire with a Paleostinian gunman who had attempted to carry out a terror shooting at a rest stop in the Jordan Valley on Tuesday afternoon, the military and police said.
According to a Border Police front man, members of the Matilan counterterrorism unit were conducting searches near the Argaman junction, close to the West Bank settlement of the same name, in the northern Jordan Valley, when they came under fire.
The Paleostinian gunman was rubbed out, and one officer was lightly hurt in the exchange.
The Israel Defense Forces said the forces had been searching for a Paleostinian gunman involved in a terror shooting attack at the same junction several hours earlier.
Initially, the IDF suspected the first attack was related to a criminal dispute between the gunman and a Paleostinian who worked at a rest stop at the junction.
In the first shooting, the gunman had opened fire three times — twice in the air and once at a shipping container — before his gun apparently jammed. He then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, prompting the military’s searches.
No injuries were caused in the first attack.
The military said that during the searches for the gunman, Matilan officers came under fire and killed the assailant.
The Paleostinian Authority health ministry named the assailant as 17-year-old Muhammad Zubaidat from Jericho.
