A 50-year-old man was killed today (Thursday) in a stabbing attack at the Beit Kama intersection north of Rahat, near Highway 6. MDA teams performed CPR on him, while evacuating him to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva in critical condition – where he was pronounced dead. After hours, it was allowed to publish that the dead In the attack is RNA Uri Moyal, 51 years old from Dimona.
The attack took place at the entrance to the Aroma branch in the gas station complex. In the footage from the scene, the terrorist can be seen suddenly stabbing a man from behind who was standing at the cash register in front of the seller. The terrorist and the wounded man fall to the ground, then the wounded man quickly comes to his senses, and after a few seconds shoots the terrorist with a gun – and neutralizes him. The footage shows a third civilian holding the terrorist with his bare hands on the ground – and helping Moyel shoot the terrorist before he attacks him again.
In the recording of the initial report to the MDA that reached N12, the citizen who called the forces is heard saying: “I’m at the Beit Kema intersection and there was an attack here. Someone shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ and stabbed. The injured person is unconscious. There is no further shooting at the scene. There is no one else injured there.” The operator answered him: “Take a shirt and press on the stab wounds. We’re on our way, don’t take the pressure off him.”
His uncle, the citizen who was seen in the documentation next to the soldier during the attack and was also injured, told News 12: “As soon as I made the order, I saw the terrorist stabbing the soldier – I was literally 10 cm next to him. I was hit in the left knee – I felt bleeding and thought it was the soldier’s blood. It turned out that it didn’t stop coming out, I lifted my pants and saw that I had been stabbed.”
