Hassan and Ahmed equipped themselves with knives. In Pisgat Ze'ev, they found Yosef Ben-Shalom, a 20-year-old male security guard who they chased after with their knives drawn, and stabbed. The guard fled, and they instead turned their attention to some nearby shops. Outside of a candy shop, they found Naor Shalev Ben-Ezra, a 13-year-old boy on a bicycle, who they stabbed. The boy sustained critical injuries. Another angle from the security camera footage shows Hassan running across a street.Hassan was subsequently shot and killed, reportedly while advancing towards police with a knife in his hand.Ahmad tried to escape the area, but was struck by a pursuing car and suffered serious head injuries.
The videos show two boys intent on stabbing any Jews they can find.
The case of Ahmed became cause celebre, with Amnesty and others calling for his release, alleging torture.
According to Palestinian media, Ahmed is due to be released very soon, less than ten years later.
He will be considered a hero.
