Following precise reports from the Shin Bet leading to an army raid in Beit Lechem (Bethlehem), the IDF apprehended the terrorist behind today’s terror attack near Tekoa Junction.
Soldiers apprehended two additional suspects and confiscated the terrorist’s vehicle, which had an M-16 inside it. The unit was attacked during the raid and responded with riot dispersal measures.
35-year-old El-Roi Kapach, whose in-laws were murdered in a similar attack 18 years ago, and his daughters Rachel (9) and Avigail (14) were wounded when terrorists opened fire from a passing vehicle at the Tekoa Junction.
The girls were lightly injured by shrapnel and treated for shock while El-Roi is in moderate condition after undergoing surgery for gunshot wounds to his upper body.
“Congratulations to the IDF, Border Police, and Shin Bet units, who detained the terrorist behind this morning’s shooting attack in Tekoa,” wrote Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant following the operation. “As we proved today and will prove every time it is necessary – every terrorist circle will be closed, every terrorist will pay a heavy price.”
