The initial investigation by police revealed that the terrorist, an 18-year-old from Kalkiliya, had aroused the suspicions of Border police at the junction. He got off a bus and began running quickly towards them.

The soldiers first warned the suspect to stop but he did not stop and even took out a knife and began running towards them. They opened fire and neutralized him.
