Terrorist shooter at a bus station described as a “Martyr” who carried out a “shooting operation"

Headline: “Martyrdom-death of young person and killing of occupation soldier, and racist fence in Jabel Mukaber”
“A young person died as a Martyr (Shahid), an Israeli soldier was killed, and 11 Israelis were injured, two of them severely, in a shooting operation (i.e., terrorist attack) in the central bus station in Be’er Sheva.”

Note: Muhannad Al-Okabi - 21-year-old Israeli Bedouin terrorist entered the Be’er Sheva bus station with a knife and a pistol, murdered 19-year-old Israeli soldier Sgt. Omri Levy, then grabbed his automatic rifle and started shooting at people in the station, wounding 11 others in an attack on Oct. 18, 2015. A foreign resident, Habtom Zarhum, 29, was shot by a security guard and attacked by people at the scene when he was mistaken for a second terrorist. Terrorist Al-Okabi was shot and killed by Israeli police.
The forum of Negev Bedouin council leaders strongly condemned the attack, stating that "The terrorist who committed this act does not represent any Bedouin residents, who favor coexistence and living together..."
