‘He looked me in the eye… and rammed me,’ recalls border cop injured in suspected ramming

A Border Police officer injured in a suspected car-ramming attack yesterday at a West Bank checkpoint recalls being struck by the vehicle in an interview with Channel 13 news.

“I signalled to him to halt… He looked me in the eye, turned the steering wheel and rammed me, and I flew to the other side” of the median, Shani Orr Hama Kadosh says.

Border Police released video footage of the incident earlier today, after family members of Ahmad Moustafa Erekat denied he intentionally rammed police and said Israeli security forces shot him in cold blood.
