Terror Stabbing
A soldier waiting for a bus outside a mall in the southern city of Arad was stabbed to death last night, in what police are calling a nationalistically motivated terror attack. An eye witness recounted the incident, saying “Someone came up to the soldier from behind and stabbed him. I saw him lying down (on the ground). My friend called me over when it happened, he tried to stop the bleeding with a towel.”
The soldier killed was 19-year-old Ron Yitzhak Kukia from Tel Aviv, who served in the Nahal infantry brigade. He will be laid to rest on Sunday at 12pm at Kiryat Shaul Cemetery. Kukia was posthumously promoted from the rank of corporal to sergeant.
More than 250 policemen and soldiers were deployed across Arad this morning, searching for the terror suspects.
Residents of Arad left flowers and lit candles at the site of Kukia’s murder.
