Two other soldiers were transported to Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, where they arrived conscious and were taken to the trauma unit. Four others were taken to Beilinson Hospital’s trauma unit for treatment following the attack.

Initial reports state that at around 6:00 a.m., the terrorist approached an IDF guard post near the Tayasir checkpoint and opened fire. Reports indicate he was wearing an olive-green vest resembling a military uniform, leading to initial confusion and crossfire. He fired toward a pillbox with IDF soldiers in it before soldiers at the checkpoint, along with reinforcements, returned fire and killed him.

Military officials have criticized the security conditions at the checkpoint and the troops’ ability to protect themselves. The IDF is investigating the possibility that the attacker infiltrated the soldiers’ compound—comprising a guard post and a pillbox—and took them by surprise by firing at close range.

Footage by Palestinians – possibly observers of the base who helped the terrorist -suggests that the terrorist advanced under cover of darkness from a built-up area, reached the checkpoint, and entered the compound, even going up to the second floor before opening fire from above on soldiers, who then succeeded in eliminating him.

It stinks from the top the leftist government allowed these Islamic demons to infiltrate our country and tie the hands of the idf and when captured put them in prison instead of immediately executing them
