The investigation into the attack revealed that one of the terrorists, armed with an M-16 rifle and knives, opened fire at the gas station, killing one person. An armed citizen then recognized what was happening, shot at the terrorist, and killed him.
At the same time, the second terrorist arrived at the entrance to the Hummus Eliyahu restaurant at the station, opened fire and killed two people. After hitting them, he entered the restaurant, fired another shot and killed another person.
