New details have been published about the attack in Dolev in Benjamin, in which 7 Israelis were injured explain why this terrorist was so difficult to kill.
The terrorist was armed with a sniper rifle with an optical sight.
He positioned himself late at night near the "Horseshoe intersection", and built a number of firing positions, which helped him carry out the attack, while shielding and sheltering from the fire of the security forces.
The terrorist first opened fire at 5:15 in the morning. After the shooting large forces were called, not realizing that the terrorist was armed with a sniper rifle.
A combat helicopter was called, and as a Zik-type UAV, the helicopter fired at him in order to make him come out - but he didn't come out.
Later the terrorist managed to fire a barrage of bullets, wounding several Israelis.
Fighters from the Duvdevan unit were called into the area, and after 5 hours of exchange of fire between the terrorist and the fighters, the fighters located the terrorist, and gave the information to the helicopter that shot and killed the terrorist.
NEWSRAEL: While online terrorists are now calling for more attacks like today's, the IDF will be sure to learn the lesson and take steps in the future to thwart such attacks.
