| [IsraelTimes] Security forces checking all traffic coming in and out of Yatta; victim said to be at death's door Security forces on Wednesday placed a cordon around the West Bank town of Yatta, hours after a Paleostinian resident stabbed a supermarket worker in a central Israeli town. All traffic coming in and out of the village was being checked, the IDF said in a statement. Earlier Israeli troops raided the Yatta home of Ismail Ibrahim Ismail Abu Aram, 19, who was jugged You have the right to remain silent... after stabbing and critically wounding an Israeli man, at a supermarket in the city of Yavneh. Just before noon, Abu Aram attacked a 43-year-old employee of a Shufersal supermarket, stabbing him multiple times in the chest, neck and head. The brutal attack was captured by the store’s security camera (warning: graphic content). Abu Aram expeditiously departed at a goodly pace but was tackled and pinned to the ground by civilian bystanders until police arrived and arrested him. The victim was rushed to the nearby Kaplan Medical Center with life threatening injuries, a hospital spokesperson said. He was still at death's door after a seven-hour surgery, according to Channel 2 News. In the past two years of increased violence in the West Bank and Israel, several Paleostinian faceless myrmidons have come from the village of Yatta, notably the two gunnies who carried out the Sarona Market terror attack in June 2016, in which four people were killed and over a dozen maimed. According to the Shin Bet security service, Abu Aram entered Israel illegally, without a required permit. He had no history of terror activity and was transferred to the Shin Bet security service for questioning. Police placed a gag order on other details of the investigation into the stabbing attack. An IDF spokesperson said the soldiers had not arrested anyone in Yatta, but were "conducting searches" in the house. She would not elaborate further on what the troops were looking to find.

| #4 But such a detailed theory! Thank you, Skidmark. I'll reread that a few more times intermixed with watching the video, so that I can begin to learn to see as you do. |

| #3 1) the pointing finger shows us the attacker is lurking at the end of the aisle having approached from the left, but we don't see the approach. 2) the attacker approaches the victim with arms wide, perhaps because of the backpack, perhaps an extreme demonstration he is open, vulnerable, unarmed. in later action he does not appear constrained by the pack. 3) the victim sees him approach and waits just a little too long to move out of the path of the attacker, a general gesture of disrespect and some assumption of empowerment. 4) the attacker brushes past the facing victim in extremely close proximity to soft knife targets heart, abdomen and liver. 5) unthreatened, the victim turns away exposing first right, then left kidney and a rear throat slash. the classic sentry attack. 6) the attacker passes then turns left drawing the knife with his right hand lifting his shirt with the left hand. maybe a two handed cross draw, maybe someone tucked the knife in his left pocket. the left turn, right draw hides the weapon from the victim but it takes two hands. 7) the attacker raises the knife overhead and charges the victim clearly signaling his intent of an overhand strike and allowing the victim to assume defensive tactics. a much more difficult approach. 8) the attacker continues to flail at his victim, overhead, at arms length until he loses his weapon. My sense is the attack was planned by someone else, the victim was not a target of opportunity, and the attacker was untrained and inexperienced. Just a theory. |
