A terrorist shot at Israeli police detectives from the Hebron Police Station, near the community of Beit Hagai in Judea, on Monday after the officers stopped a suspicious car.
After the vehicle stopped, the terrorist emerged and began firing. Officers returned fire and neutralized the shooter without casualties to the Israeli officers, Israel Police stated.
