Roi showed a great deal of composure, as he waited with the order to open fire until the squad approached at short range.
When she did so, Roi's force opened fire and hit three terrorists. As a result of this action, two of the terrorists were killed and the third was wounded, but Roy refused to be satisfied with this achievement, and immediately set up another ambush watching over the bodies of the terrorists.
Indeed, after a short time an ambulance arrived at the scene with terrorists who had come to evacuate the bodies and plant explosives for the IDF forces. Roi surprised this squad as well, and managed to eliminate three more terrorists. The commander of the Central Command gave Roi a certificate of special appreciation for the successful operation, which proved that foot soldiers' ambushes are an effective tool in the Judea-Samaria sector as well. Roi, with characteristic modesty, avoided telling others about the certificate, which he hid under his bed.</blockquote></font><br>

Kneeling down, Roi and Yohai tried to lift Amichai onto the stretcher. Around them were other wounded people calling for help. Roy tried to calm them down: "I'm soon coming to you."
Shimon Adega, a fighter of Ethiopian origin, light on his feet and loved, hurried to help the SAMGAD [Deputy battalion commander] pull the stretcher. Klein tried to get up from his kneeling position to pick up the stretcher. Avitar Turgeman, a fighter in the Edge Force, suddenly saw the SAMGAD throwing himself forward and yelling: "Shema Israel". Shimon Adega was probably the only one who noticed Roy Klein leaping towards a hand grenade that rolled towards them. Avitar heard Shimon shouting hysterically: 'He jumped on the grenade, he jumped on the grenade.' Turgeman was stunned for a second. 'Klein, we're going to get you out,' he shouted. He and Shimon Adega pulled the stretcher to cover. Roy was still conscious. All around the fire continued.
Hand grenades exploded near the force. Cries of victims from all sides: 'Mom, I'm dead.' Roy, mortally wounded, tried to get up. His hand went to the radio switch. His soldiers were amazed when they heard him: "I'm reporting, Klein is dead, Klein is dead..."

In 2001, Klein received a medal from the General of the Central Command, for executing a perfect ambush near the IDF's axis of movement near Mount Ebal. A number of terrorist squads operated in the area, specializing in proactive ambushes for IDF forces and settlers moving along the [road] axis. The first ambush ended without results. Contrary to intelligence information, the terrorist squad did not pass the axis. A few days later, it changed the location of the ambush.
Late at night he noticed three terrorists approaching the axis to plant a bomb. Roi and his men let them approach and opened fire at short range. The three terrorists were killed.
Suddenly a Palestinian ambulance appeared. Roy ordered his men to besiege fire. To his surprise, a number of armed terrorists got out of the Palestinian ambulance. Roi opened fire and hit them. In the investigation after the battle, he learned from the Shin Bet that the terrorists who were in the ambulance belonged to a wanted squad that carried out ambushes in the area.
On the night of July 26, 2006, on his way to the last mission of his life, he told his men that for him Bint Jbeil was the closing of a circle. The circle is indeed closed. but at a heavy price.

UNRWA, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, has issued a call to all the parties to the conflict in the ...territory to respect the integrity of its ambulance services and the neutrality and impartiality of its staff.
The call follows an incident in Gaza City on 11 May in which armed Palestinian militants threatened the lives of an UNRWA ambulance team (a driver and a paramedic) and forced them to transport an injured gunman and two of his armed colleagues to a hospital in Gaza City.
UNRWA condemns this action in the strongest possible terms. While its ambulances do not make any distinction between the injured, whether they are injured fighters or noncombatants, at no time and under no circumstances should armed men enter any UNRWA vehicle.</blockquote>
