The troops approached the teens, who refused to stop. One border policeman fired a warning shot in the air and in response, one of the teens pulled out a knife and both attempted to rush the bus stop.
The troops then fired at the teen's legs. One suspect sustained minor wounds, while the other suffered moderate injuries. Both were treated at the scene and taken to Rabin Medical Center in Petach Tikva for treatment.
