Man in Israel kills 4 people using a knife
This Tuesday, March 22, in the afternoon, four people were killed, after an attack with a knife that occurred in Beer Sheva, the main city in the Negev desert, located in the southern part of Israel.
The attack was carried out by a man, allegedly led by terrorist forces. For this reason, the country's prime minister, Naftali Bennett, assured that he will establish "strong measures against terrorists."
For his part, the Israeli volunteer of the Red Cross, Magen David Adom, explained that initially there was only one deceased person, then he reported that the number rose to three people and in his last balance the figure rose to four deceased.
According to police spokesmen, the suspect of the crime arrived in a car at a nearby gas station, around 4:00 p.m. local time (2:00 p.m. GMT), and at that moment he launched himself against his first victim, a woman whom he stabbed without contemplation.
After committing the crime, he returned to his vehicle, started it and hit a 60-year-old man who was riding a bicycle. He got back in the car and drove to a nearby shopping center, where he got out and stabbed a man and another woman. This was reported by the same police sources.
The Israeli police explained that some civilians who were at the scene realized what had happened, so they shot the aggressor, neutralizing him immediately, which allowed them to notify the police forces, who in a few minutes appeared at the scene to arrest the criminal., of which it is unknown if he is still alive.
Naftali Bennett, He recently returned from a summit in Egypt with President Abdel Fattah al Sisi and Mohammed bin Zayed, leader of the United Arab Emirates. Although he was not in the country, he kept abreast of events in Beer Sheva and is in communication with the nation's public security minister and chief of police.
Bennett congratulated those who shot the assailant, and further extolled them saying "they showed resolution, courage and prevented more deaths."
On the other hand, the Palestinian Islam group, who are responsible for controlling the Gaza Strip, said in a statement that they do not claim responsibility for the attack, on the contrary, they blame the Palestinians for their treatment of Israel.
The spokesman for the Islamic group, Hazem Qassem, gave statements on a radio station, where he pointed out that the operation they are carrying out is "a political response of ethnic displacement practiced by Israel against our Palestinian people within the occupied territories," he said..
