Arabs fired on a vehicle carrying Border Police on Monday near the Arab town of Kalansawa in central Israel. Two policemen were wounded and taken to Kfar Saba's Meir Hospital in light condition.

According to initial reports, the policemen were wearing plain clothes and driving an unmarked vehicle. A Mazda 626 overtook their vehicle and an Arab gunman opened fire on the police vehicle from the back seat. 

The suspect car then drove away at high speed. Magen David Adom forces arrived on the spot and gave the policemen initial treatment before they were taken to hospital. Police put up roadblocks and are combing the area for the perpetrators of the attack.

The assumption is that the attackers knew that they were firing at policemen.
