Sudden Jihad Syndrome. [IsraelTimes] Victims of stabbing and car-ramming spree treated at three locations in Ariel Industrial Park and on nearby highway; IDF troops enter attacker’s town
Three Israelis were killed and three were hurt in a stabbing and car-ramming attack in and around the West Bank settlement of Ariel on Tuesday morning, the military and medics said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, a Paleostinian terrorist stabbed a security guard near the entrance to the Ariel Industrial Park. The terrorist then stabbed three people at and adjacent to a nearby gas station, before he fled in an apparently stolen vehicle.
Shortly afterward, the terrorist crashed the vehicle into other cars on the Route 5 highway, before getting out and stabbing another person, according to medics. He then stole another vehicle and drove it against traffic, crashing into more cars, before he got out and was rubbed out by soldiers and armed civilians.
Odelia Shahaf, a Magen David Adom ambulance service medic who was at the scene, said she thought it was a traffic accident.
"I was on the road and noticed what looked like a car accident. I saw a maimed man lying on the road and immediately went over to him," she said.
"While I started treating him I heard people shouting ’terrorist terrorist’ and saw a man running with a knife running in our direction," Shahaf said.
"He then managed to stab and injure a 35-year-old man. I went over to the maimed man who was badly stabbed and stopped his bleeding," she said. The terrorist at that point got into another vehicle and again crashed into the cars on the highway, she said.
MDA said the 36-year-old security guard was seriously hurt. Security officials were probing how the terrorist managed to flee after stabbing the guard at the first scene, and why they were not shot by another guard. The second guard only had gun sex.
Two men in their 40s who were stabbed at and near the gas station were killed, and another man in his 40s was seriously hurt. A man in his 50s, later named as Tamir Avi-hai, was killed after being rammed by the terrorist, and another 35-year-old was stabbed and seriously hurt on Route 5, according to MDA.
The Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva said it was treating three victims at death's door, one of whom was unstable. It later said the condition of one of the victims had improved.
The terrorist was named by the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry as 18-year-old Muhammed Souf, from the nearby town of Hares.
Local officials said the terrorist had worked in the industrial zone, and had a valid permit. Souf did not have any prior security offenses, a defense source told The Times of Israel.
According to Paleostinian media reports, Israeli troops entered Hares following the attack. The military said troops were dispatched to the scene and were searching the area for a suspect who allegedly aided the terrorist.
A person initially reported by medics to have been a second attacker was one of the victims.
Souf did not have any prior security offenses, a defense source told The Times of Israel.
Three fathers named as victims of West Bank terror attack
[IsraelTimes] Tamir Avihai, 50, was from settlement of Kiryat Netafim; Michael Ladygin, 36, immigrated 5 years ago, lived in Bat Yam with his family; Motti Ashkenazi, 59, had two grandchildren.
Off-duty soldier who shot terrorist was headed to memorial for recent attack victim
[IsraelTimes] One of the off-duty soldiers who killed the terrorist following this morning’s deadly rampage near Ariel was heading to a memorial for a man killed in a terror attack last month, the military says.
Prior to his enlistment in the Armored Corps, the private, who can only be identified by his rank and first initial, worked at a store owned by Shalom Sofer.
On October 25, 63-year-old Sofer was stabbed by a Palestinian terrorist after he exited a store in al-Funduq, a Palestinian village near the settlement of Kedumim. After being hospitalized in serious condition Sofer was released, but he succumbed to his injuries last Tuesday at home.
“This morning while I was driving on Route 5 I noticed an unusual incident on the road. When I realized it was a terror attack, I got out of the car, identified the terrorist, and opened fire at him,” the soldier says in video statement published by the IDF.
Another on-duty Golani Brigade soldier and armed civilians also opened fire at the terrorist, killing him
