Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Recalling the terrifying incident, Rafael, the woman's husband told Kan Reshet Bet: "We were returning from a vacation in the north, and suddenly I noticed a vehicle with Palestinian licence plates starting to turn around on the road, and it made a suspicious movement. I stopped 20 metres ahead, and the vehicle returned to its lane and began moving towards me. Two metres away from us, he crossed the line, blocked me, and the traveller exited with an M-16 weapon and began firing."
"My wife shouted, 'It's a terror attack, go into reverse, escape!' and the terrorists' vehicle drove straight towards Shechem."
The victim, who suffered light injuries from broken glass, was fully conscious and treated at the scene by Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics before being transported to the hospital.
Official statement
MDA paramedic, Yonatan Shenbai, told Israel National News that upon their arrival at the scene they "saw the vehicle, which showed signs of gunshots. In the vehicle were four people - a man, a woman, and two children ages six and nine. By a miracle, only one of the travellers, a woman,31, suffered light injuries from broken glass. We provided her with medical treatment at the scene and evacuated her to the hospital."
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) which responded to the incident, has confirmed that a shooting attack took place from a passing vehicle near the Hamra Junction.
"An Israeli civilian was lightly injured by shrapnel, and a number of hits to a vehicle were identified. IDF soldiers are pursuing the terrorists," they said.As a security measure, the entrances to the Shechem (Nablus) area have been blocked off.
