Eyewitness says police fired before car accelerated
Uriel Eisner, an activist for the Center for Jewish Non-violence who witnessed the car-ramming in the Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran, says police fired shots at the car before it accelerated toward officers.
According to Eisner, the car was trying to leave the village in order to avoid confrontation with police.
Israeli policeman 1st Sgt. Erez Levi was killed in the suspected attack and the driver of the ramming vehicle, identified as Yaqoub Mousa Abu Al-Qia’an, was shot and killed.
