The person who eliminated the terrorist is lieutenant colonel in reserves Hezi Nahama, who was driving in the area. According to him, "I was passing through the junction and heard a boom from about 20 meters away. I got out of the vehicle and tried to understand if it was an accident. People shouted: 'He has a knife!' I saw him running toward me, I yelled at him 'Stop!' - but he didn't stop. I shot at his legs and he continued in a frenzy. I kept shouting 'Stop!' and he didn't stop. So I shot at the center of his body and he fell."
