The attacker was a Palestinian man, 26-year-old Diaa Hamarsheh from Ya'abad in the West Bank, local media reported, according to Yahoo News. Israeli regime's Police have arrested an additional suspect in connection with the attack.
The local media have said that Hamarsheh had previously been barred from entering the 1948 occupied territories. News sources reported that he was from Jenin in the West Bank.
The shooting was the third targeted operation carried out by Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian lands under the control of the Zionist regime in the past eight days. On March 22, an attacker killed a Zionist cyclist before stabbing three more people to death in Beersheba. On Sunday, two gunmen fatally shot two police officers in Hadera. All the attackers were also killed by the regime's security forces.
Palestinian resistance movements and Lebanese Hezbollah have offered congratulations on the Hamarsheh's martyrdom operation.
