Earlier today, IDF forces located such a suspected body of the terrorist who carried out the shooting attack at the intersection in Benjamin about two weeks ago. The cause of death remains unclear.

The body was found in the state of advanced decay, under a thicket of vegetation in the wadi about a mile from the scene of the attack. Next to it were an M-16 rifle and a gun. He is believed to have been hiding in the spot. In the attack, which occurred on February 6, the IDF fighter was lightly wounded by gunfire.
