In a solemn statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid tribute to a Haredi Hasmonean Brigade fighter who thwarted a deadly attack at the Ramot Junction in Jerusalem. The identity of the heroic soldier, who eliminated two terrorists during the incident, remains undisclosed.

In his statement, Netanyahu acknowledged the bravery and quick thinking of the soldier, expressing gratitude for his actions that prevented a greater disaster. He stated, "The actions of this soldier, who showed exceptional courage, saved many lives."

Netanyahu met with the soldier and his fiancée in his office to personally congratulate him for his actions. He commended the soldier for his bravery, stating, "Your actions during this murderous attack were nothing short of heroic."

The attack took place at the Ramot Junction, a busy intersection in the heart of Jerusalem. The two terrorists, armed and determined, carried out the attack, causing fear and chaos among the civilians.

However, thanks to the swift actions of the Haredi Hasmonean Brigade fighter, the situation was swiftly brought under control. Netanyahu's statement was a testament to the soldier's bravery and the crucial role he played in safeguarding the lives of the people of Israel.

In his statement, Netanyahu also emphasised the importance of standing united against terrorism, stating, "We will continue to fight against terrorism and protect our citizens."

This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat of terrorism in the region and the bravery of the men and women who risk their lives to protect the citizens of Israel. The identity of the soldier remains a secret, but his actions will not be forgotten.
