Dramatic video captured the moment an Israeli officer rode a motorcycle one-handed while using the other hand to shoot at a vehicle being driven by Hamas thugs in a James Bond-esque chase near Gaza.
The newly released footage shows the cycle-riding officer and an Israeli cop car chasing the van carrying at least two armed Hamas members outside Netivot on Saturday, not long after the terror group launched the worst attack on Israel in 50 years.
As the motorcycle cop shoots at the vehicle, he and the cop car continue to follow the van, which appears to have its trunk open before it suddenly stops.
The officer on the motorcycle then revs his engine, zooming up closer to the van and shooting several times through the open trunk door.
The Israeli officers also shout commands while closing in on the vehicle, which has all of its windows shattered.
Israel Police said the two Hamas gunmen were “neutralized,” without elaborating. The inside of the vehicle is not visible in the footage.
Israeli police praised the officers involved for their heroism, writing online, “We will continue working on the front lines to defend our civilians from terror.”
