A Palestinian man has been fired after saving a Jewish family when their car was attacked.

Rabbi Michael Mark's car was overturned when a Palestinian terrorist fired at his vehicle, killing him and critically injuring his wife. A local Palestinian man and his wife came to the rescue, removing the children from the car and administering first aid.

According to the head of Mount Hebron Regional Council, Yochai Damari, the man has since been fired from his job.

“I met with him and he asked me to help remove any obstacle preventing him from receiving a work permit [to work in Israel],” Mr Damari wrote in a Facebook post this week.
