Jordan Valley terror attack - the connection to terrorist Zakaria Zubeidi
Notorious terrorist Zakaria Zubeidi, released less than a week ago as part of hostage deal carried out an attack near the same place; "Maybe these events are inspired by him, and maybe even under his direction."


There is a connection between the shooting attack that took place this morning (Tuesday) at the Tayasir checkpoint, near the Jordan Valley in which eight people were wounded and the notorious terrorist Zakaria Zubeidi, who was released less than a week ago as part of the hostage deal with Hamas.
Channel 14's Hillel Biton Rosen noted that a few years earlier, the notorious terrorist, carried out an attack near the same area. The terrorist carried out a number of attacks there and in the Binyamin area, and was also responsible for an attack in which Israelis were murdered.
Zubeidi was released as part of a deal with the murderous Hamas terror organization a little less than a week ago, and is located near the same area. "Perhaps these events are inspired by him, and perhaps even under his guidance," our correspondent emphasized.
Two were critically injured, two moderately to severely injured, and the rest were lightly injured in this morning's attack. The terrorist opened fire near the Tayasir checkpoint, and after an exchange of fire with the forces, he was killed.
Zubeidi, former commander of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Jenin, was previously involved in multiple attacks during the Second Intifada and made headlines as one of the escapees in the 2021 Gilboa Prison break. He was convicted for his role in a 2002 attack in Beit She'an that killed six civilians.
In 2021, Zubeidi briefly captured global attention when he and five other inmates escaped from Israel’s high-security Gilboa Prison through a tunnel dug beneath the walls. The dramatic breakout led to a massive manhunt, and he was recaptured five days later.
During his years in jail, three of Zubeidi's brothers, as well as his son Muhammad, were killed by the Israeli military.
