The gunman, a member of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror group, was rubbed out by the patrol officer’s colleague. Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said the two Tel Aviv municipal security officers approached a suspect they saw walking at the corner of the Montefiore and Nachalat Binyamin streets, where dozens of restaurants, cafes, and bars are packed on Saturday evenings. The suspect initially refused to answer their calls, and as the pair got off their cycle of violences, the Paleostinian man pulled out a handgun and opened fire, hitting one of the patrolmen, according to law enforcement officials. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the officer, later named as 42-year-old Chen Amir, was critically hurt after being shot in the head. He was taken to the nearby Ichilov Hospital, where medical officials declared his death. "Chen... was killed while preventing with his body a larger attack and in his death saved many lives," a statement from the hospital said. Ichilov added that his family agreed to donate his organs. Amir was a married father of three. The second officer returned fire at the gunman. Footage showed the moment the second security patrolman chased after him and shot him. The terrorist was also taken to the Ichilov Hospital, which later declared his death. The officer who shot the gunman said he and his partner spotted the suspect standing near a bar with a backpack. "He didn’t make eye contact as we approached him on our noisy cycle of violences, which increased our suspicions," the officer told Shabtai at the scene. "My partner was first, he managed to prop up his cycle of violence, but at the same moment the terrorist pulled out a handgun and started shooting at my partner," the officer said. "I pulled out my handgun and fired at him. He also tried to fire a bullet or two at me but they didn’t hit. I chased after him and continued shooting until he fell to the ground," the officer added. Shabtai hailed the officer, saying that "there is no doubt that your quick and professional action saved a life." "A few meters away from us you can see the crowded cafes and understand the magnitude of the disaster that was avoided. It is thanks to your vigilance and engaging [the gunman]," Shabtai added. The Paleostinian gunman was identified by the Shin Bet security agency as a member of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. According to the Shin Bet, Kamel Abu Bakr, 22, a resident of Rummanah — a town near Jenin — had been hiding in the Jenin refugee camp for the past six months. He had been wanted by Israeli security forces for opening fire at IDF troops in the West Bank. Abu Bakr did not have an entry permit to Israel due to his affiliation with Islamic Jihad and the previous shooting attack. The agency was investigating how he entered Israel. The police commissioner told media at the scene that the suspect had a "martyrdom" letter on him, adding that "he came to be a martyr."
