The suspect, a Bedouin from the country’s southern Negev region, was killed by off-duty soldiers at the scene, around Be’er Sheva’s central bus station.
According to Israel’s Ynet news outlet, the terrorist had a criminal record and belonged to the family of Mohannad al Okbi, who carried out a terror attack that killed a soldier at the central station in Be’er Sheva in October 2015. He was said to be in contact with Hamas.
However, Bedouin areas in Israel’s south are still home to Gazans from the time when there was free movement between Israel and Gaza.
# ‘Huge chaos’
Paramedics said they arrived to find “huge chaos” at the scene of Sunday’s attacks.
Speaking to Israel’s Ynet, Rubik Danilovich, the mayor of Be’er Sheva, said at the scene: “This is a cold-blooded killer … We as a city are doing everything to return life to full normality. We are in challenging and sensitive days, please be vigilant.”
“This is not the way of Bedouin society,” he said.
