The terrorist was armed with a gun and a knife according to the HaMevaser report.

The community’s first-response team was alerted but the terrorist managed to escape. B’chasdei Hashem, the terror attack was averted.

Elsewhere in Yehuda and Shomron, soldiers over the weekend found a loaded shotgun in the bushes near the Arab village of Kfar Madma, presumably in preparation for another attack.
