Arab Israeli Shoots Israeli Border Policeman outside Temple Mount in Jerusalem
(Israel Hayom-Times of Israel) Efrat Forsher - An Israeli Border Police officer was shot in the shoulder on Thursday when "an assailant approached officers who were stationed near the Lions' Gate [on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem] and opened fire at them," the Israel Police said. "Other officers engaged immediately, firing at the assailant and neutralizing him." Hebrew-language media named the shooter as Shadi Bana, 45, from Haifa, who reportedly converted from Christianity to Islam recently. Security camera footage shows the gunman armed with a pistol walking up to a group of officers and shooting at them.
