An Arab terrorist was stopped in his tracks Wednesday night as he opened fire from his vehicle on an IDF “pillbox” observation post near the Arab village of Aboud in the third terror attack of the night. Aboud is in the Binyamin region, near the Palestinian Authority capital city of Ramallah.

Israeli soldiers at the outpost returned fire and shot the terrorist, according to the IDF, wounding him critically.

The terrorist remained conscious and received treatment at the scene. IDF soldiers who searched his vehicle discovered a Carlo Gustav submachine gun.

There were no injuries reported among IDF personnel, and no Israeli property damage.

Earlier on, terrorists tried to firebomb the Jewish community of Migdal Oz in the Gush Etzion section of Judea, setting afire the field on the outskirts of the community. Three firefighting teams were required to extinguish the blaze.
