One of those killed was identified by his father as Alon Bakal, a law and business student who was a manager at Simta, the pub targeted, with police naming the second as Shimon Ruimi from southern Israel.

Osnat David, who owns a hair salon near the pub, said she was outside smoking a cigarette just two minutes before the attack began. A gag order prevented the naming of the suspect.
