The Eritrean man, Haftom Zarhum, who was shot and killed by a guard during the Be’er Sheva terror attack on October 18, and subsequently attacked by a mob, reportedly yelled out “Allahu Achbar” during the attack, according to the police investigation and witness accounts, Israel Channel 1 reported.
While Islamic terrorists almost always scream “Allahu Achbar” when they are trying to slaughter Jews, Muslims are also known to say it in times of emotional stress.
If accurate, it would explain why the guard mistook the Eritrean man for the terrorist during the attack.
Four people were arrested for beating up Zarhum after he was shot, thinking he was the terrorist.
