Surveillance camera footage shows the moment the owner of a hummus restaurant shot dead a Palestinian terrorist who killed two Israelis at a gas station near the West Bank settlement of Eli.

Aviad Gazbar, who says he had recently returned from fighting in the Gaza Strip, tells media at the scene: “I heard shots, I was inside the hummus [restaurant], I fired a bullet so that the terrorist would know I was here. I saw that he saw me, and he started charging towards me, I took him down and continued scanning.”

“The same terrorists in Gaza are the same ones who are here,” he said. “In every place, they try to kill us. We have to keep our heads high,” he said.
