Soldier murdered in shooting at Beersheba bus station
An IDF soldier was killed and several more people were injured in a terror attack at the Central Bus Station in the southern city of Beersheba Sunday night.After this, security forces had better start beefing up checkpoints to make it less easy to infiltrate. This is another very terrible incident caused by Mahmoud Abbas' incitement.
Among the injured was an Eritrean man shot and seriously wounded by responding security forces, who initially mistook him for a terrorist.
According to the police, following an initial investigation, the attacker stabbed a soldier and stole his weapon, opening fire on the crowded bus terminal.
The soldier later died of his wounds after being rushed to a hospital in the area.
Rescue officials said 11 people were injured in the attack, which occurred at about 7:30 p.m.
Two of the victims were reported to be seriously wounded. At least four of those hurt in the attack were cops, police said.
The terrorist, who was not initially identified, was shot and killed by responding forces after holing up in a bathroom.
[...] An eyewitness told Channel 2 news the attacker was able to enter the bus station — which doubles as a commercial center — fairly easily, despite bolstered security forces throughout the country amid the terror wave.
