The shootout caused a great commotion and riots ensued throughout the whole area; with rioters pelting the IDF with stones and other artifacts. During the unrests two Arabs were injured on the lower parts of their body, and were evacuated to the Hospital by the Red Crescent.

The eliminated terrorist is Basal Al Arag,31, originally from Beis Lechem. According to the IDF he headed a terror cell that planned terror attacks against Israeli targets.
