Security cameras in the Jewish town of Teneh Omarim caught Friday’s terrorist walking freely around the town prior to attempting a stabbing attack near the town’s synagogue.
The terrorist, who squeezed under the town’s gate, attempted to stab civilians near the town’s synagogue on the morning of Shavuot (the Festival of Weeks), but was neutralized before he could cause injuries.
Ari Udes, Teneh Omarim’s secretary, spoke about the attempted stabbing, said, “Thank G-d, a great miracle happened on Shavuot morning. An Arab terrorist from nearby ad-Dhahiriya succeeded in infiltrating undisturbed, through the town’s gate to the center of the town. Worshipers in the synagogue identified the knife he held in his hand, neutralized him immediately, and prevented a great tragedy.”

Udes added, “The atmosphere is very difficult. This is a quiet and safe town, which in one moment became vulnerable. This incident could have, G-d forbid, ended differently.”
“At this time we are still investigating the incident with the army, and we will work together in order to increase the residents’ feeling of security, with the hope that there will not be any copycats and that we will be able to avoid any similar event in the future.”
