These four injured soldiers, valiant fighters who have already faced the horrors of war during their service tours in the Gaza Strip, were at the station en route to their injury rehabilitation appointments at the Zerifin base. A medical official who treated them revealed to the Israeli news channel "N12" that these soldiers have witnessed unspeakable horrors and lost comrades during their military service.
The perpetrator of this vicious attack has been identified as Muhammad Al-Alab Mahmoud Shahab, a 27-year-old resident of Kfar Aqab, north of Jerusalem. Despite a gag order, it can be disclosed that significant progress has been made in the investigation.
The Al-Mujahideen terrorist organization, a terror faction in Judea, Samaria and a small presence in Gaza, issued a statement in which they claimed responsibility for the car ramming attack. As of now, the Israeli investigators have not commented on this admission by a fringe terror group, however Israel is typcially quiet on details as investigations are under way.
Shahab executed his malevolent plan in a Toyota vehicle, recklessly accelerating into a bus stop where the soldiers were waiting. He then made a U-turn and rammed the bus stop a second time, demonstrating a clear intent to inflict maximum harm. Fortunately, reserve Border Patrol officers swiftly neutralized the terrorist, preventing further casualties.
