UPDATE: Car Fleeing Police Injures 4 Israelis Near Be'er Sheva, Driver Arrested
This is a developing story.
A vehicle fled from the Israeli police and hit (or crashed into) a few Israeli citizens while it was escaping.
There are 3 unconscious civilians at the scene in Tel Sheva, a bedouin town on the border of Be'er Sheva.
Police are currently searching for the fugitive(s).
According to the police:
"A suspected vehicle failed to comply with police instructions earlier today during “New Order” operations in the Bedouin community of Tel Sheva and fled the scene.
During the chase, the vehicle struck civilians before continuing its escape. Large police forces are currently conducting a manhunt for the vehicle and those involved.
The injured have been taken to the hospital for treatment, and further details will be released as the investigation continues."
UPDATE:
The chase ended when officers shot and wounded the driver in the shoulder, leading to his arrest. A preliminary police investigation indicates the suspect attempted to flee because he did not have a valid driver’s license.
Magen David Adom reported that earlier today, a call was received regarding several pedestrians struck on Road 4060 near Omer.
Medics evacuated four injured individuals to Soroka Medical Center, including the driver, a man in his 30s in moderate condition with penetrating injuries, and three pedestrians who sustained light injuries.
