Beersheba terrorist identified as 29-year-old Bedouin man
The terrorist behind a deadly terror attack in Beersheba is named as Ahmad al-Uqbi, 29, from a Bedouin hamlet near the town of Lakiya, according to Israeli defense authorities.
Al-Uqbi holds Israeli citizenship and has a criminal record, authorities say.
According to unconfirmed Hebrew media reports, he was related to Muhanad Alukabi, who carried out a shooting attack at the same Beersheba bus station in October 2015.
One soldier was killed in that attack, and an Eritrean national mistaken for an assailant was also shot and killed.
