In a pre-meditated attack, a terrorist blocked an Israeli car traveling along the Minharot (Tunnels) Highway. The terrorist opened fire killing one of the occupants – a member of the security forces. In an exchange of fire that followed the second passenger was seriously wounded in the neck and jaw.

Despite this, he got out of the car, gave chase and managed to shoot and kill the terrorist. He was later taken to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusaelem.
