Israeli-American Ex-Marine Says It Was a "Miracle" He Survived Shooting Attack
(Times of Israel) David Stern, an Israeli-American man shot on Sunday in a Palestinian terror attack, said Tuesday that it was a "miracle" that he managed to return fire and survive the attack. Stern said he was driving with his wife through the Palestinian town of Huwara on their way to Jerusalem when he stopped to give the right of way to a pedestrian, who then pulled out a gun and fired. "I noticed he was blocking one hand in a very suspicious way," Stern recalled. "I immediately reached for my handgun, the terrorist turned toward us, and we started shooting, almost at the same time." After the attacker fled, Stern drove a few hundred meters, stopped, and started bandaging himself before an ambulance arrived. Huwara is just about the only Palestinian town that Israelis must regularly travel through. There are plans to build a bypass road, but construction has been stalled.
