A Palestinian teenager was arrested early Sunday morning for suspected murder after running over an Israeli police officer with a stolen car on Highway 4 near the Ra’anana junction on Motzei Shabbos.
The policeman was found sprawled on the crosswalk, with the vehicle on the other side of the highway. The 17-year-old Arab suspect had fled the scene.
Emergency medical forces who arrived at the scene could do nothing but declare the police officer’s death. He was later identified as Sgt.-Maj. Barak Meshulam, z’l, a 29-year-old who left behind a wife, two children, parents and siblings.
A large number of police forces began carrying out foot searches aided by a police helicopter and quickly located the suspect hiding nearby. He is suspected of stealing a car from the Tel Aviv area and while fleeing the police, rammed into Meshulam, z’l, when he tried to stop him at a police checkpoint.
A similar incident occurred only last month when volunteer policeman Michi (Amichai) Carmely, z’l, was killed by a drunk Arab at a police checkpoint in Rishon L’Tzion, also on a Motzei Shabbos.

The poor Arab child. He lost control of the car because the draconian, aggressor Zionist police were chasing him! Why would police chase a kid? He should be freed from police custody at once! He’s a juvenile! Put him in the corner for 5 minutes and let him go home to his Mommy.
Convene the Security Council at once and condemn all of Israel because of this terrible police action.
Terrorists collect a bounty for killing Jews. Stop playing paddy cakes with these monsters! They are jailed. They get regular visits, from the family members and the Red Cresent while the victims are rotting in their graves. In jail, they are well fed and given excellent health and dental treatment. This is insane! Israel can do more and hopefully, it will.
I truly am tiring of Arabs getting away with murder and Jewish souls having to be ignored or even charged more drastically for even sneezing …shame…..
