70-Year-Old Woman Killed, 18 Wounded in Ra’anana Ramming-and-Stabbing Attack

The terrorist, 24-year-old Ahmed Zida’at, carried out the January 15 attack with 44-year-old Mahmoud Zida’at.

Both terrorists are residents of the Palestinian Authority village of Bani Naim, a suburb of Hebron, and were working illegally in Ra’anana at a car wash.

Ahmed Zida’at confessed during interrogation after his capture that he had noticed Adraee in a restaurant in the city, and had begun to follow him even before the October 7th outbreak of the war against Israel by Gaza’s Iranian-backed Hamas terror organization.

A 70-year-old woman, Edna Blustein, was killed and at least 18 other people, including at least eight children and teens waiting at a bus stop on their way home from school, were wounded in the attack.
