Udai Tamimi, the Palestinian who killed Israeli soldier Noa Lazar at the Shoafat checkpoint, carried out a shooting attack near the West Bank settlement of Ma’aleh Adumim on Wednesday and was shot dead.
Footage from the attack shows Tamimi, who has been the subject of a manhunt for more than ten days, firing at a security guard and security guards returning fire, killing him.
Tamimi continued to shoot at them for about 30 seconds while lying on the ground, until he was hit and lost consciousness. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A grenade was found on his body, and security officials believe that the gun he used was the same one used in the attack at Shoafat ten days earlier.
An injured security guard was taken to the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem fully conscious and with an injury to his hand from shrapnel.
Palestinian groups throughout the West Bank, including the ruling Fatah party, announced a general strike on Wednesday night to mourn Tamimi’s death. Armed men led marches in Shoafat, Qalandiya, Nablus and Jenin to mourn Tamimi.
