An Arab man stabbed a man waiting at the bus stop just outside the city of Ariel at 2:26 pm Monday afternoon. The victim,a rabbi in his 40’s, was treated at the scene before being evacuated to a medical center.

According to the Magen David Adom emergency medical service, paramedics were resuscitating the victim, who was stabbed in his upper body and reported to be unconscious. He was evacuated in critical condition.

Update: The victim has died from his wounds. He has been identified as Itamar Ben-Gal, a father of four from Har Bracha.

The terrorist was armed with two knives. After the attack the killer then fled, but an IDF officer saw the terrorist running with the knives and hit him with the car.

The killer got up and continued running, with the officer in pursuit. The officer hit him again. The killer got up again and escaped into the Arab village of Kifl Harith.

The IDF is searching the village for the killer.

Rabbi Itamar Ben-Gal was laid to rest Tuesday in Har Bracha, a small Israeli town south of Nablus (Shechem), a day after he was murdered by an Arab terrorist at at hitchhiking post near the town of Ariel.

Hundreds of people, including Knesset Speaker Yoel (Yuli) Edelstein and Deputy Defense Minister Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan, gathered at the community to accompany Ben-Gal, a 29-year-old father of four, on his final journey.

Edelstein eulogized Ben-Gal as a loving family man who dedicated his life to education and faith in God.

A report in Yediot Acharonot Wednesday said that Abd Al Hakim Adel A’asi, the murderer of Rabbi Ben-Gal, Hy”d, had actually come to the same spot where he murdered Rabbi Ben-Gal a day before the terror stabbing attack. A’asi was detained and questioned after he verbally attacked IDF soldiers who were stationed there.

Officials said that in retrospect, it appeared that A’asi had come to the Ariel junction in order to size up the site and determine the best way to carry out a terror stabbing attack. A’asi arrived by taxi on Sunday, as he would on Monday when he stabbed and killed Rabbi Ben-Gal, and went across the street to the bus stop, where the next day he would carry out the attack.

Stationed at the stop were IDF soldiers, who were guarding passengers waiting for a bus. A’asi began loudly cursing the soldiers in Arabic and made menacing gestures at passengers. The soldiers detained him and removed him from the bus stop, and questioned him.

When he produced his Israeli identity card, they released him. An initial investigation into the matter determined that the soldiers had acted properly, the report said.

Security forces are continuing their search for A’asi. Overnight Tuesday, IDF soldiers entered Shechem and surrounded the house of the father of A’asi. Several arrests were made amid heavy rioting, and one Arab rioter was killed, security officials said.

Yossi Dagan, head of the Shomron Regional Council, demanded that the government do more to protect Israelis from terror stabbing attacks. “This is the second terror attack in Shomron in less than a month.

It does not make sense that the blockades have not been restored around villages. It does not make sense that in the middle of the day a terrorist gets out of a taxi and begins attacking, with no fear or hesitation.
