Masked gunmen rob Bank Hapoalim branch in Kfar Kara

Three masked gunmen robbed a Bank Hapoalim branch in Kfar Kara Sunday morning.

The three men stormed the bank and fired into the air, before making violent threats and demanding money. No one was hurt in the robbery.

The three men fled the scene in a Subaru that police believe was torched shortly thereafter. Police set up roadblocks in an effort to trap the assailants, but they managed to escape.

Police suspect the robbery was planned well in advance.

Late Saturday night, two masked gunmen robbed a gas station attendant at a filling station in Umm-al Fahm, making off with hundreds of shekels. The attendant was not harmed.
