In the city of Lod, police detained a local resident who was found with an M16 automatic rifle. During the arrest, police officers had to use firearms.
This was reported by the police press service.
Around midnight, a call was received about shooting in one of the city’s districts. Police officers from Lod and the Border Police (MAGAV), who were conducting operational work in the area, discovered a man with a rifle and decided to detain him. When the police were spotted, the armed man took aim in their direction.
Without waiting for his actions, the police returned fire and wounded the attacker, after which they successfully detained him. The perpetrator, a resident of Lod, was taken under guard to the Asaf HaRofe Medical Center in Tzrifin to receive medical care. A rifle and ammunition were seized from him and were sent for examination.
No information has yet been provided on the identity of the shooter. The police are currently continuing their investigation and are looking for other participants in the incident.
Earlier, Kursor wrote that the police were unable to detain the terrorist who attacked the police, as he immediately fled the scene. In addition, the police did not take sufficient measures against the remaining participants in the incident. The third Arab, who had a camera, not only allowed himself to get very close to the police and even touch them, but was also not detained.
In addition, Cursor reported that a man, approximately 30 years old, tried to seize a weapon from a police officer on Ha-Tzvi Street in the city of Beersheba.
