He also described seeing an unconscious 20-year old male, and a boy of about 16 and a man of about 65 years old who were conscious but were suffering from gunshot wounds.
There was also a woman of about 65 years old in moderate condition and a 52 year old man who managed to escape from the scene and called MDA who found him conscious and suffering from gunshot wounds.
The terrorist was neutralized by a civilian with a firearm.
Eyewitnesses described the attack and said they saw a man with an “Isis-style” beard and a white cap driving in a vehicle, making a U-turn close to a group of people, exiting the vehicle and shooting at the group.
Palestinian reports reveal a picture and a name of a suspect as Fadi Jimjum.
Shuli, a witness who was at a nearby restaurant when the shooting began said “People shouted ‘There’s an attack!’”
Shuli continued, “People ran into the restaurant in panic, then a policeman came and came in and asked if we saw a suspect with a white cap. People are really stressed, calling family members. They saw people falling and being dragged.”
Responding to the news the terrorist was neutralized by an armed civilian, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir arrived at the scene and said, “This attack proves again that guns save lives.”
He added, “I will expand and grow the program for the right of Israelis to arm themselves. You fight terror not with blinking or with words but with a determined line. That’s how it should be Gaza, Lebanon, and everywhere else. No tolerance against terrorism.”
