Palestinian driver shot dead while trying to ram through checkpoint — police
|
[IsraelTimes] Border guards rubbed out an East Jerusalem man who rammed his car into one officer after being caught presenting false identification papers at a checkpoint outside of Jerusalem on Wednesday afternoon, police said.
According to police, the suspect was stopped at the A’zaim checkpoint east of the capital and asked to identify himself. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
the papers he presented the officers appeared to belong to someone else.
While being questioned, the suspect — later identified by the Paleostinian news site Ma’an as Nur Jamal Shaqir, a 30-year-old resident of the Silwan neighborhood of East Jerusalem — drove his car quickly toward a border guard, hitting and lightly injuring him, police said.
Shaqir was shot by other officers at the scene and taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus, where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
the medical center said.
According to the hospital, Shaqir sustained gunshot wounds to the stomach and arrived without a pulse.
Police said it was not immediately clear if the incident was an act of terror.
Videos from the scene show the officers arresting the fatally maimed driver next to his car just outside the checkpoint.
Police closed off the surrounding area and inspected the vehicle.
On Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces said it had thwarted an attempt to attack troops with improvised bombs outside the village of al-Mughayyir near Ramallah in the central West Bank. They were uncovered by IDF troops and then disarmed by police sappers, causing no injuries or damage.
The explosives had been buried and covered with dirt for camouflage and rigged to blow if a soldier stepped on them. The incident came during a period of relative calm in the West Bank.
