The attacker fled on Road 5533 and entered Tzur Yitzhak, where he fired at a civilian who was guarding the entrance to the community. The guard was wounded in the hand, and the attacker continued to Tzur Natan and also fired at the guard at the community gate. From there he continued to the community of Sla'it, where he spotted Klomiti, who was in his car, and murdered him.

He was later identified by security forces, who pursued him and killed him in open territory between Tzur Natan and Taybeh. Security forces raided the attacker's home and detained several of his relatives for questioning. During the arrest of one suspect in assisting the attacker, the suspect tried to stab the police officers. No one was injured in the incident.
