in field training near Kibbutz <a href="/wiki/Gal%27ed" title="Gal'ed">Gal'ed</a> in <a href="/wiki/Ramot_Menashe" title="Ramot Menashe">Ramot Menashe</a>. Their tent encampment had not been fenced off and was lightly guarded. The four killers entered the encampment armed with knives, axes, and a pitchfork. Once inside the encampment, they approached a tent and attacked the soldier guarding it, Corporal Yuri Preda, wounding him. The attackers chased Preda into the tent as he attempted to get away from them and stabbed him to death. They then attacked two other soldiers in the tent, killing Corporal Yaakov Dubinsky and wounding Private Sergei Zatziriyani. The attackers stole M-16 rifles from the tent before exiting it. Upon leaving the tent, they encountered Corporal Guy Friedman, who was in charge of training for the weekend, killed him, and stole his <a href="/wiki/IMI_Galil" title="IMI Galil">IMI Galil</a> rifle. Another soldier who had noticed what was happening opened fire on the attackers, but his gun malfunctioned after he had fired two shots. The attackers escaped. When it became clear what had happened, the soldiers at the base could not call for help as the camp's electrical generator and two-way radio were not working, so soldiers had to go to kibbutz Gal'ed and call in assistance from there. </p><p>Preda, Dubinsky, and Zatziriyani were immigrants from the former <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> who had only been in the army for three weeks.
