A Sderot resident riding an all-terrain vehicle in the southern city was shot and wounded by Israeli forces after refusing to halt, the municipality says.

He is taken to a hospital for treatment, Sderot adds in a statement.

The incident comes as Israeli troops are fighting Hamas terrorists who infiltrated southern Israel, including Sderot, yesterday morning.
