Don't ever let anyone tell you that knives aren't a deadly weapon, or that cops shouldn't shoot to kill if threatened by a knife.
Four Israelis were killed on Tuesday in a terrorist stabbing attack at a shopping center and gas station in Beersheba, with a number of others injured in the attack.
The stabber was an ISIS sympathizer who tried to go to Syria in the past to fight for ISIS.
The terrorist was identified as Muhammad Alab Ahmed abu Alkiyan, a Bedouin-Israeli from the town of Hura who had served time in Israeli prison.
Alkiyan was arrested in 2015, along with a number of other suspects, for supporting and promoting ISIS to students at the school where he was a teacher.
According to police, the terrorist ran over a man riding on a bicycle before driving to a gas station, exiting the vehicle and stabbing a woman. He then returned to the car, drove to a nearby shopping center, exited the car and stabbed another man and a woman. He then returned to the vehicle, drove away and crashed into another vehicle, exiting the vehicle and stabbing another person before being shot and killed by a civilian passerby.
