Moussa Tit, 26, of the West Bank village of Khirbet Safa, said he carried out the attack for religious reasons and wanted to die as a martyr. After infiltrating the village, the terrorist said, he spotted children and began attacking them one after the other. Shaul Goldstein, head of the Gush Etzion Regional Council, noted, "The terror attack was indicative of the atmosphere within the Palestinian population, which encourages the murder of innocent Israelis."
