Shabtai says security forces have already arrested several people connected to the attacker and “the circumstances are being looked into in regards to his background and motive.”
He praises the civilian who shot the attacker dead “and prevented him from continuing his murderous rampage.”
He urges the public to remain vigilant, noting that the motivation for attacks has risen due to Israel’s major military operation in Jenin.
