In the desert city of Beersheba, a Palestinian armed
with a pistol and a knife grabbed another attacked an Israeli officer, fatally
shot him, and wounded at least nine other people. The Palestinian
assailant was eventually killed at the scene by responding officers. The attack took place at a bus station where
thousands of people pass through daily. The
mayor of Beersheba, Ruvik Danilovich said “Fifty thousand people go through the
central bus station on a daily basis, and the police have been doing their best
to inspect people, but they cannot hermetically seal off this area against
perpetrators”. The identity of the assailant in Beersheba is not known, and no
group has claimed responsibility for the attack. But officials from Hamas, the
Islamic militant group that dominates Gaza, praised it. The Palestinians have also accused Israeli
security forces of using excessive force because at least 18 suspects have been
killed at the scene of the nearly 30 attacks on Israelis this month.
