Ahmed Zidat, the terrorist who carried out the attack in Ra’anana, about a month ago, admitted during his interrogation that he had planned for months to assassinate the IDF spokesperson in Arabic Avichay Adraee.

Zidat, who worked in Ra’anana, noticed Adraee in a restaurant in the city and began following him even before the October 7th Hamas assault.

The multi-scene terror attack in Ra’anana, which was carried out by Zidat and another terrorist, left a 79-year-old woman dead and 20 injured, two seriously.

Adraee, who has been serving in his position since 2005, is a well-known figure in the Arab world and has received many personal threats to his safety, especially after conflicts such as the Second Lebanon War and Operation Cast Lead.
