2022-03-23
[JPost] Attack was third stabbing this week attacker had been arrested in the past for supporting ISIS.

Four Israelis were killed on Tuesday in a terrorist stabbing attack at a shopping center and gas station in Beersheba, with a number of others injured in the attack.

Large forces from the police and Magen David Adom (MDA) arrived at the scene to treat the victims who were pronounced dead after being evacuated to the nearby Soroka Hospital.

The terrorist was identified as Muhammad Alab Ahmed abu Alkiyan, a Bedouin-Israeli from the town of Hura who had served time in Israeli prison.

Alkiyan was arrested in 2015, along with a number of other suspects, for supporting and promoting ISIS to students at the school where he was a teacher.

According to police, the terrorist ran over a man riding on a bicycle before driving to a gas station, exiting the vehicle and stabbing a woman. He then returned to the car, drove to a nearby shopping center, exited the car and stabbed another man and a woman. He then returned to the vehicle, drove away and crashed into another vehicle, exiting the vehicle and stabbing another person before being shot and killed by a civilian passerby.

Police arrested two of the attacker's brothers, who suspected saw him leaving the house with a knife. Although the police believe he acted alone, it is investigating whether the brothers were aware of his intentions.
