An IDF officer was stabbed at Be’er Sheva’s central bus station on Sunday morning in what authorities suspect was a terror attack. The terrorist, identified as a Bedouin from Rahat, was killed by gunfire from a soldier at the scene.

Eyewitnesses described how a knife-wielding terrorist targeted the officer before being confronted by soldiers who intervened and ultimately eliminated the threat. A second soldier sustained minor wounds during the exchange of gunfire.

One soldier, who witnessed the ordeal, detailed the terrorist’s methodical approach after disembarking from a bus, narrating how he swiftly launched the attack on the victim.

Emergency response teams from Magen David Adom swiftly arrived at the scene following reports of the attack, providing critical medical attention to the wounded officer before transferring him to Soroka Hospital for further treatment.
