Tel Aviv: Near Tel Aviv, Israeli police said that on Friday, an Arab-Israeli attempted to fire at them before ramming them with his car, prompting them to open fire.
An Arab-Israeli city on the outskirts of Tel Aviv and just outside of the occupied West Bank, Kafr Qassem, is where the incident took place.

Since March, when Israel started conducting almost daily raids after a string of deadly attacks against Israelis, violence has increased in the West Bank.
The suspect called the police under the pretext of "a violent incident," according to a statement from the police, which led them to Kafr Qassem.

He ran at the police with a gun when they arrived, got in his car, and ran over them, according to the police report. Before the suspect was "neutralised by shooting," three officers suffered injuries. Naim Mahmoud Bedir's uncle Sobhi Bedir claimed that his nephew was blameless. He said, "In Israel, when the police kill a Palestinian, they claim he was a terrorist or plotting an attack.
