Israeli police shot and moderately wounded an illegal resident in Tel Aviv on Monday night during an attempted flight. The suspect was evacuated to a hospital with moderate injuries. The incident follows a similar episode earlier Monday, when police shot an illegal resident from the Palestinian territories who accelerated toward an officer and fled a checkpoint on Salama Street. In that case, which The Zioneer reported at 23:40 Monday, the suspect was also found several blocks away with a gunshot wound and taken to hospital in moderate condition. It is not yet clear whether tonight's incident is the same event or a separate occurrence. The circumstances of the shooting are under investigation.
