A Palestinian man wanted by security forces was shot and seriously injured during a counterterrorism operation in the West Bank on Wednesday, the Israel Police said.
The man, in his 30s, was shot in his lower body as he tried to escape a Border Police special anti-terror unit near Ramallah, police said in a statement Thursday.
He was taken to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in Jerusalem for treatment.
All other details of the case are restricted under a gag order, police said.
Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority government, is in Area A of the West Bank, which according to the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinians is under PA security and administrative control.
