The Israeli military estimates that terrorists were on their way to carry out a large-scale attack against civilians when soldiers intercepted them, preventing a potentially larger incident. Initial investigations reveal that soldiers were setting up a roadblock when they spotted the approaching terrorists, who reportedly arrived in a vehicle with Israeli license plates. The gunmen emerged from their car and opened fire on the soldiers, sparking an exchange of fire.
During the firefight, five Israelis were injured, two critically, one moderately, and one lightly. Following the exchange, the terrorists were neutralized. Authorities are investigating whether the cell was local or part of a larger terror infrastructure. The military is also examining suspicions that a foreign photographer was tipped off in advance about the planned attack and documented the event professionally.
Dramatic accounts from the scene described moments of terror, with one witness heard shouting for help as the gunman continued firing for over 20 minutes, preventing the evacuation of the wounded. Another witness urged rapid action during the evacuation, "Open the door quickly!" as paramedics worked to extract the injured.
