Lab testing has confirmed that a terrorist who was killed on Saturday during an attempted attack on the community of Yitzhar was the same terrorist who had attacked the community a week earlier, stabbing a young child and setting fire to a family home. The terrorist escaped following the first attack, but was shot and killed as he attempted to hurl a firebomb.
When he was killed, the terrorist was carrying a knife and instruments that military experts say were meant to help him enter Yitzhar undetected. According to Arab reports, the terrorist's brother was also a terrorist, and was killed while attempting a fatal attack as well.
