According to suspicions, the terrorists, Ahmad and Mahmoud Zidat, changed vehicles, ran over pedestrians in several locations in the city and even stabbed some of them. After they were arrested, it turned out that they were illegal aliens without work permits who lived in Hebron and worked at a car wash near the scene of the attack, on Horshim Street. Their employer was arrested by the police on suspicion of employing them without work permits. Shortly before he was arrested, one of the terrorists posted on Telegram where he wrote: "Allahu Akbar, my revenge, Allahu Akbar." Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said at the scene: "The two terrorists are relatives who entered Israel illegally."
