Israeli sources reported on Sunday that “a female soldier in the Israeli occupation army was killed and 13 others were wounded” in a heroic shooting operation carried out by the Palestinian Ahmad Saeed Al-Aqbi at a bus station in Beersheba, southern occupied Palestine.
The same sources confirmed the martyrdom of the executor, whom they identified as a resident of the Negev holding Israeli citizenship. Israeli Channel 12 cited eyewitnesses stating that “the attacker was wearing a bulletproof vest.”
In further details, the slain individual in the Beersheba operation was identified as a soldier in the so-called “Israeli Border Guard.”
Of the 13 wounded, one is in critical condition, six sustained moderate injuries, and the remaining have minor wounds. Israeli army radio reported that the executor stabbed the soldier, seized her weapon, and opened fire on others.

Additionally, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth quoted the mother of a female soldier, saying that “her daughter and other soldiers hid in a bathroom during the Beersheba operation, and she couldn’t reach her.”
Israeli police urged the public to avoid the site of the operation, noting that “the incident is not over” and that they are conducting searches for potential accomplices.

Abu Obeida Praises
Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, commended the stabbing operation carried out in Beersheba.
In his statement, Abu Obeida said, “We bless the heroic operation in Beersheba carried out by one of our brave fighters from within occupied Palestine. Our confidence in the patriotism of our people in the 1948-occupied territories remains unwavering. We are certain that the youth in these areas possess the capability to harm the occupier and support their brethren in the besieged Gaza Strip in every way possible.”
Earlier in the day, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas also praised the operation, describing it as a “heroic act” in defense of the Palestinian people. Hamas stated that this attack was a response to “the arrogance of the occupier, who continues its war of extermination.”
Hamas further added that the attack was “a natural extension of the ongoing struggle of our people against the brutal Zionist occupier and a foreseeable retaliation for its continued crimes.”
