The plaestinian assailant was killed at the scene by police officers. After more than two weeks of almost daily attacks mostly by young Palestinian armed with knives there had been hope in lsrael that Sunday would pass peacefully but around 7.30pm report emerges of the shooting at the Central bus station in Beersherba
Based on initial reports some Israeli commentators considered this attack more sophisticated and requiring more planning than many of the past ones this month most of which have been carried out in Jerusalem or the West Bank by Palestinian with no known links to militant organizations
