The Israeli man who was wounded in a shooting attack in the West Bank earlier Sunday relates his recollections of the attack and asserts that the fact that he survived is a “huge miracle.”
“I drove to work as usual,” says a visibly shaken Ronen Edri in a video published by the independent news outlet 0404. “In front of me was a vehicle that was going relatively slowly, which was a little suspicious.
“I continued along with [the vehicle], and we came to the junction. I turned right, and a second later I heard a huge noise, a burst of shots that took out all of the window on the left side.”
He says he then “stepped on it and got out of there as fast as I could.
“I was wounded in the hand, with shrapnel in my back. The bottom line is that, thank God, it was a huge miracle. That’s it. I’m thankful for the miracle. I could have been in a very different place today.”
