Four civilians were murdered in a terrorist attack in the city of Beer Sheva in southern Israel on Tuesday in one of the worst nationalistic incidents in recent years.
The terrorist, a resident of the Bedouin town of Hora, ran over a cyclist before leaving his vehicle and embarking on a stabbing spree near the Big shopping center. He stabbed to death a gas-station employee, and later, two women and a man. Two other civilians were injured.
The terrorist has been identified as Muhammad Abu Al-Kia’an, 34, a former prisoner, reported Kan News. He was known to be a supporter of ISIS and served jail time in Israel.
Magen David Adom paramedics reported that one woman was pronounced dead at the scene and four people had been taken to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva with stab wounds: two in critical condition and two in moderate condition. A second woman was later pronounced dead, according to Channel 22.
The head of Magen David Adom’s paramedic service, Eli Bin, said the injured received treatment on the spot before being rushed to the hospital.
Trauma-room staff members have been reinforced in order to deal with any added injuries if more victims arrive, said Soroka.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett sent his deepest condolences to the families of the attack’s victims, saying in a statement, “I’ve now held a situation assessment and consultations with the Pubic Security Minister, and the Police Inspector General following the attack. The civilians who shot the terrorist exhibited alertness and bravery and prevented additional victims. Security forces at the highest alert. We will act with a strong hand against terrorists. We will pursue and get hold of those who assist them.” JNS
Unfortunately, Hamas will intensify its efforts now that they see how Russia does it. Everyone should be more alert.
Yup just catch and release works everything it’s tried
Yes. It’s time to start bombing those empty wheat fields in Gaza again. That’ll teach them.
