Palestinian attacker named

The Palestinian man who stabbed an Israeli to death at a gas station on Route 443 before soldiers shot him dead is named as Ahmad Taha of the village of Qatanna, outside Jerusalem.

Channel 2 reports that he was not an employee of the gas station and had arrived there with the intention of carrying out an attack.

The TV station airs footage of Israeli soldiers standing next to a group of young Palestinians detainees at the gas station.
