The soldier was identified as Walid Gathian Al-Shibani.
The attack comes just days after terrorists targeted a development project in the same neighborhood where laborers working on a development project were targeted.
A Saudi child and a Pakistan expat were killed and 14 others injured in that attack.
“The neighborhood has come under heavy attack in recent days from terrorist elements inside Al-Mosouwarah.
Al-Mosouwarah is one of Qatif’s oldest neighborhoods where many buildings are 100 years old.
A development project in the neighborhood involves demolishing 488 residential units and the construction of shopping centers, restaurants, residential towers and a cultural center.
