He shot at the terrorists before being hit by a bullet in the head. The names of two other victims, women in their 60s, have not yet been released for publication.
Security officials said initial investigations of the attack revealed there were three terrorists in the squad who fired at the passing bus and cars on the road. Two of them are known to the security forces and arrived from the Jenin and Qabatia areas. The officials said there was no early induction of the attack and that the terrorists lay in wait for an opportune moment to strike.
Ami Berber, a resident of the settlement of Emanuel said he opened fire on the terrorists who then escaped. "I saw the two terrorists fire heavily on the bus and shot at them from my car," he said. "I have a pistol and if I had had a long rifle, they would both be dead. As soon as I began shooting, they returned to their car and sped off."
