(IsraelNN.com) Public Defense Minister Avi Dichter paid a visit Friday to the bedside of the Border Police officer who was injured in the terror attack last night. The officer, Shoshana Samendoyov, who is in serious condition at Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital, told Dichter what she remembered of the attack.

"I tried to cock my gun, then they shot at me and I fainted," she said. "I got up after a few minutes and cocked the gun. I was in great pain, I couldn't move. I called the Border Police officer who was next to me and saw that he wasn't responding."

Samendoyov said she temporarily lost her hearing "because of the blast" that had occurred. "I picked up the phone and told the officer at the command room that we had been fired upon and that we need help. At the same time, I cocked the weapon and started firing at a car I saw blurredly. I lost so much blood that I fainted again. I remember crawling towards the barrier and then I saw a jeep of ours that had started taking charge of the situation."
