Witnesses say that the terrorists were hanging around the area for about 40 minutes prior to attacking. The attackers, Umar Rimawi and Iham Sabah are from Beitunia near Ramallah.
The citizen who shot the terrorists recounted that he “entered the store and heard screams. I spotted one of the terrorists and shot him. There were soldiers and citizens there.”
The 36-year-old was sent to Hadassa Medical Center and Weissman was sent to Shaare Tsedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, where he died of his wounds. He was married and a father of a baby.
