Border Police officers from the Otef Yerushalayim unit shot a suspect in the leg at the Shuafat crossing in Jerusalem on Thursday night after he failed to comply with orders to stop. The Israel Police said the suspect was acting suspiciously upon arrival at the checkpoint. The crossing was temporarily closed following the incident. No Israeli forces were injured. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the police statement contradicted a later unverified report circulating on social media claiming the suspect was killed. The official police account, corroborated by Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal, remains the authoritative version of events.
