The officer, 22 years old and commander of the 202nd Battalion of the Parachute Brigade, was on Shabbat leave when he was suddenly caught up in an attack in the City of David. The 13-year-old terrorist shot at him and his 47-year-old father, injuring them. The IDF stated that despite his severe injury, the officer acted calmly, rowed into contact, shot and hit the terrorist.
Only then did the officer go to a hospital for medical treatment.
