The terrorist approached Ben-Gal at a bus stop and stabbed him in the chest. Emergency services tried to save him, but he was already in critical condition and died soon after.

The terrorist ran from the scene, and an IDF officer seeing him running with the knives, drove his car into the terrorist twice, but each time the terrorist got up and continued running.

The terrorist escaped into the nearby Arab village of Kifl Harith, where security forces are currently hunting him down.
