Ma'an/Agencies - An unidentified Israeli settler was shot in his car while traveling in the occupied West Bank near the illegal settlement of Shvut Rachel north of Jerusalem Tuesday night, Israeli media sources reported.
The man suffered mild to moderate wounds when a bullet hit his hand. Israeli police and border guards said the shots came from "unknown assailants," but noted they may have come from "terrorists situated at the side of the road."
The Israeli English news website Ynet quoted a settler leader as saying the "attack is a direct result of the removal of roadblocks. It's only by some miracle that the outcome of these attacks has been no worse than injuries, but you cannot base security policies on miracles."
