Ronen Hanania, 50, was fatally shot. His son, 19, who was also wounded, survived the attack. “We were shot at – my father was hit in the head, I watched him die,” said Hanania’s son, who did not give his first name to the media.“I knew my father was dying. He was not functioning. He was breathing, he had a pulse but he wasn’t here mentally. I don’t know where the bullet came from, but there was no chance of him surviving. I saw my father, I watched him in his last moments.”Read One dead, 9 wounded in terrorist shooting attack at bus station in southern IsraelHe said that it took nearly 15 minutes for emergency services to arrive at the scene, so he ran to a nearby grocery store for help.He said that he was aided by local Palestinians. “Arabs bandaged my hand there,” he said. “One took my sweater and put a tourniquet on me. Then they told us that everything was fine, we could go out, there is a medic.” However, the terrorist opened fire once again, shooting one of the paramedics.The medic is currently in a medically-induced coma in a Jerusalem hospital but is expected to survive. An off-duty IDF soldier and local security guard then neutralized the terrorist by “running him over [with a car] and then shooting him,” Hanania’s son said.Early Sunday morning, the terrorist’s family home in Hebron was measured by the IDF, a step which typically occurs days before a demolition.According to Hebrew language media reports, al-Jabari’s brother Wa’al was serving a life sentence for terrorism in an Israeli prison, but released in the 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange. He was deported to the Gaza Strip. Arab terrorHamasHebronPalestinian terrorShooting attack
