Zionists gun down Palestinian who resisted occupation

Ramallah: A Palestinian opened fire at a checkpoint near a Jewish settlement in the West Bank on Sunday, wounding three Israelis before being shot dead, officials said, the latest in four months of violence. An attempted car-ramming also occurred later in the day at a military checkpoint in the West Bank north of Jerusalem, with the attacker shot and taken to hospital for treatment, Israel’s military said. No Israelis were reported wounded. The Israeli army said the shooting attack took place near the Beit El settlement, close to Ramallah. Israeli medics said two of the three wounded had serious injuries. “A gunman opened fire near Beit El, north of Jerusalem,” the Israeli military said. “Forces at the scene responded to the attack and shot the assailant, resulting in his death. Three Israelis were wounded and are being evacuated for emergency medical treatment in hospital.” AFP
