Earlier this month, a terrorist killed Israeli soldier Uri Moyal in a stabbing attack at a gas station near Beit Kama in the northern Negev.
The Israel Security Agency later identified the terrorist as Fadi Abu Latif, 22, originally from the Gaza Strip.
A resident of Rahat, Abu Latif lived in the Strip until he was 18. He was granted Israeli citizenship in 2019.
