Ze\'ev Fishfeder, the security officer of the Shomron town of Bruchin, is recovering from an operation after Palestinian terrorists shot him yesterday. He told Arutz-7 today that he was driving along a narrow road when he began hearing shots: \"I at first did not realize that they were shooting at me, and I kept going, but then I saw them on my left - three or four of them, one of whom was shooting with a Kalachnikov and one with an M-16, I believe - and they continued shooting. Two bullets hit me in my leg, and then I began zig-zagging on the road. This is likely what saved me from further hits. Somehow I managed to straighten out, and then I opened the door, and shot in the air many times as a signal to the security forces around and also to deter the terrorists from chasing me...\"

Massalmani was also charged with other shooting attacks. He belongs to the Tanzim-Force 17 terrorist cell that was discovered last week and that is responsible for the murder of eight Israelis in the past six months.
