Ma’ale Adumim, [City], [Country] – In a shocking incident that took place yesterday, a terrorist opened fire at a hamburger restaurant in Ma’ale Adumim, leaving six people injured. In a chilling video captured at the scene, the terrorist can be seen shooting directly at diners, including children. Five of the victims sustained moderate injuries, while a 41-year-old man was seriously injured.
According to Palestinian reports, the attacker has been identified as 20-year-old Mahand al-Mazareh from the nearby village of Azaria. Al-Mazareh, who had a work permit, was employed at the community center in Ma’ale Adumim. The incident unfolded when a border guard officer, who happened to be in the vicinity for a haircut, heard gunfire and shouting, prompting him to neutralize the attacker.
Among the witnesses was Moshe Turgeman, a victim of the attack, who bravely provided crucial information to the officer. Turgeman recounted the harrowing moments, saying, “It was a routine day of continuous work. At 3:40 p.m., I told the client who arrived for the appointment scheduled at 3:30 p.m. Suddenly, I heard gunfire and yelling from outside. The officer pulled out his weapon and went out. We ran outside and saw people running.”
Turgeman revealed that he and the officer unknowingly passed by the attacker, remarking, “We didn’t attach importance to him because he was wearing a bright vest, and we thought he was from the municipality.” As they made their way towards the hamburger shop, neighbors from nearby buildings alerted them to the terrorist’s presence. It was at this point that the officer identified and fatally shot the attacker, who had been hiding in the bushes.
Speaking about his actions during the incident, Turgeman humbly stated, “I didn’t think much in those moments; I just didn’t want people to get hurt. I ran with the goal of neutralizing him. The officer has been a client of mine for many years; I have known him since his recruitment and even attended his wedding. Ma’ale Adumim is like a big family, and people here don’t stop caring.”
Reflecting on his injuries, Turgeman expressed gratitude for the doctors’ optimism and hopes to be released soon. He sustained a gunshot wound to his hand, with a bullet passing through the front muscle after grazing behind his elbow. He considers himself fortunate to have escaped greater harm.
The community of Ma’ale Adumim has come together in the aftermath of the attack, showing solidarity and resilience. Despite the trauma, residents remain strong and united against such acts of violence.
The investigation into the attack is ongoing, with law enforcement agencies working to uncover any potential accomplices or motives behind the incident.
As the community heals and supports those affected, authorities are committed to ensuring the safety and security of Ma’ale Adumim and its residents, so incidents like this can be prevented in the future.
