Meir Medical Center updated Monday that the condition of three people hospitalized after the deadly shooting attack in the Sharon area has improved.
According to the hospital, two victims who were seriously wounded in the attack are now fully conscious and in stable condition. A third victim, who was moderately wounded, is now in good condition and was released home Monday morning.
The attack killed Master Sgt. (res.) Haim Kalomiti, 55, from Tzur Natan. Five people were wounded in total, including two in serious condition and three in moderate condition. One of the seriously wounded victims was the community security coordinator of Tzur Natan.
The attack began Sunday morning near Kochav Yair, when a terrorist driving a vehicle with a yellow Israeli license plate opened fire at people near a gas station. He then fled the scene and continued shooting along the road in the area, reaching Tzur Yitzhak and Sla’it.
Security forces launched a manhunt and eventually eliminated the terrorist in the quarries near Tayibe.
Later, police announced the arrest of another suspect believed to be connected to the attack, after receiving information about a man seeking help hiding. During the arrest, the suspect allegedly tried to attack detectives with a glass bottle, but the incident ended without injuries.
