Another Israeli civilian was seriously wounded in the attack.Table of ContentsBackground[edit]The attack[edit]Aftermath[edit]The perpetrator[edit]Manhunt for shooter ends in his death[edit]References[edit]Background[edit]In the six months preceding the attack, several deadly attacks were carried out in Samaria by individual Palestinian militants who attacked Israeli civilians and soldiers, which included among others the shooting attack in the Barkan industrial zone, the shooting attack at Givat Assaf, and the attack at the Ofra junction.In order to secure the region, an IDF force from the artillery brigade was stationed in the Ariel area which was only trained for one week before being deployed to secure the Ariel area.The attack[edit]On Sunday morning, March 17, 2019 a Palestinian militant arrived at the Ariel junction in the West Bank and noticed the IDF soldier, Gal Keidan of the Thunder Battalion, securing the bus station at the junction. The militant stabbed him, grabbed his weapon and shot him to death. The IDF soldier who stood next to him did not fire at the attacker, but his commander fired across the road and wounded the attacker.[1]Rabbi Achiad Ettinger, who was armed, approached the militant, shot him and injured him, but the militant managed to shoot back and critically wounded Ettinger. Afterwards, the militant hijacked a vehicle that approached the junction. He drove to the Giti Avishar junction, where he shot another IDF soldier who as a result was seriously injured.The militant then drove towards the Palestinian town of Burukin, where he abandoned the vehicle and continued escaping on foot.Aftermath[edit]On March 18, a day after the attack, Rabbi Achiad Ettinger, who was head of the Oz and Emuna Yeshiva in the Neve Sha’anan neighborhood in Tel Aviv, died of his injury.[2]The perpetrator[edit]The militant who carried out the attack was Omar Abu Lilah, a 19 year old Palestinian from the village of Zawiya located near Ariel. Abu Lilah was a student at the Al-Quds Open University in Salfit.[3]Manhunt for shooter ends in his death[edit]On March 19, during an attempt, carried out at the village of ‘Abwein, by the IDF and the Shin Bet, to capture the militant, a fire exchange took place during which the militant was shot and killed.[4]References[edit]Within IsraelMurder of Neta Sorek (February 24, 2010)Murder of Kristine Luken (December 18, 2010)Jerusalem bus stop bombing (March 23, 2011)Hamas school bus attack2 (April 7, 2011)Tel Aviv nightclub attack2 (August 29, 2011)Tel Aviv bus bombing (November 21, 2012)Bat Yam bus bombing (December 22, 2013)Murder of Shelly Dadon (May 1, 2014)Jerusalem tractor attack (August 4, 2014)Assassination attempt of Yehuda Glick (October 29, 2014)Second Jerusalem vehicular attack (November 5, 2014)Killing of Sergeant Almog Shiloni (November 10, 2014)Jerusalem synagogue attack (November 18, 2014)Tel Aviv stabbing attacks (January 21, 2015)Beersheva bus station shooting (October 18, 2015)Tel Aviv synagogue stabbing (November 19, 2015)Tel Aviv shooting (1 January, 2016)Tel Aviv stabbings (8 March, 2016)Jerusalem bus bombing (18 April, 2016)2nd Tel Aviv shooting (8 June, 2016)Jerusalem Light Rail stabbing (14 April, 2017)Yavne attack (2 August, 2017)West BankTapuah junction stabbing (February 10, 2010)West Bank shooting attack (August 31, 2010)Itamar attack (March 11, 2011)Fatal West Bank stoning attack (September 23, 2011)Tapuah junction stabbing (April 30, 2013)Kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers (June 12, 2014)First Jerusalem vehicular attack (October 22, 2014)Alon Shvut stabbing attack (November 10, 2014)Shvut Rachel shooting (June 29, 2015)Murder of Eitam and Na’ama Henkin (October 1, 2015)Lions’ Gate stabbings (October 3, 2015)Gush Etzion Junction shooting (November 19, 2015)Murder of Hallel Yaffa Ariel (30 June, 2016)Jerusalem shooting attack (9 October, 2016)Jerusalem truck attack (8 January, 2017)Jerusalem attack (16 June, 2017)Temple Mount shooting (14 July, 2017)Halamish stabbing attack (21 July, 2017)Har Adar shooting (26 September, 2017)Ariel stabbing (5 February, 2018)Barkan Industrial Park shooting (7 October, 2018)Samaria combined attack (17 March, 2019)Murder of Dvir Sorek (7 August, 2019)2 Attacks launched from the West Bank2000s "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki43\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki43\/2019-samaria-combined-attack-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"2019 Samaria combined attack – Wikipedia"}}]}]
