Hebron Terror Attack Had the Markings of an Organized Attack
(Israel Hayom) Yoav Limor - Israeli defense officials said the terror attack near Hebron on the eve of Passover that killed Israel Police Chief Superintendent Baruch Mizrahi and wounded his wife had the markings of an organized terror cell. This was a planned attack, carefully executed far from any military positions in the area. The perpetrator's weapon was an AK-47 and not an outdated rifle. The shooter had an obvious escape plan, likely with the assistance of another individual. The shooting took place in an area where Hamas has significant presence on the ground. In September 2013, Staff Sgt. Gal (Gabriel) Kobi was killed in the area by a Palestinian sniper. Israeli and Palestinian security forces coordinated their efforts on Tuesday in the wake of the shooting.
