A Palestinian resistance fighter firing a machinegun wounded at least 10 soldiers at the HaKirya military base in Tel Aviv on Sunday, reported Radio Israel. 

AFP quoted Army Radio as saying the man arrived in front of the "defense ministry" in a car, from which he opened fire on Israeli soldiers. 

The agency said that the man was killed as he tried to flee the scene and crashed his car into a pole.  

However, according to Al Jazeera.net, the Palestinian was arrested after he was badly hurt – Albawaba.com
