Terrorists threw a firebomb at a Border Police jeep Sunday evening, as it traveled near Hawara, in Samaria.

No one was reported hurt. The firebomb struck the vehicle and began to catch fire.

The Border Policemen immediately began a manhunt for the firebomb throwers. In the course of search, one of the fighters identified a terrorist standing a few meters away from him with another fire bomb in his hand. The policeman called on the terrorist to desist and throw away the firebomb. He also fired warning shots in the air.

The terrorist continued to try and light the firebomb’s wick, and the Border Policeman fired at his lower extremities. He was hurt, received treatment from IDF medics and was taken to a hospital for medical treatment.
