According to the IDF, Adam threatened the armed civilian unit stationed at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara, a town near the Gaza border, with a knife on Monday morning. Footage shows three armed civilians shooting Adam as he approached them, causing him to collapse.
Photos from the scene show Adam lying in a pool of blood, with police and soldiers nearby investigating. Security has been heightened in Netiv HaAsara since Hamas militants killed around 20 people there during the October 7 attack.
The IDF stated that Adam “exited his vehicle and threatened with a knife members of the community’s rapid response team,” who then “responded with fire and neutralized the suspect.” No injuries to the security forces were reported. The IDF emphasized that Adam was a foreign citizen from Israel, not from Gaza.
Mayor Itai Levi praised the security team for acting “heroically and with great bravery,” emphasizing the importance of maintaining forces in the area, which is only about 300 meters from Gaza.
Israel has experienced several stabbings during its invasion of Gaza following the October 7 attack. In recent incidents, three people were seriously injured in a March stabbing at a shopping mall, and one person died with 12 wounded in January near Tel Aviv.
The recent killing of Adam follows a drone attack in Tel Aviv on Friday morning claimed by Houthi rebels in Yemen, resulting in one death and 10 injuries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently in the US to address Congress and has requested a meeting with former President Donald Trump.
