A young woman was stabbed and her attacker killed near the Israeli city of Tel Aviv on Friday, while the country's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was injured in a car crash as he returned from addressing journalists at the scene, officials said.
The young woman was stabbed in the city of Ramla and taken to hospital, police and paramedics said. They said the attacker was killed, without giving details.
"We received an injured woman from gunshot and stabbing wounds in her 20s," Ortal Sheffer, a doctor at the Shamir Medical Centre (Assaf Harofe) said in a video statement shared by the hospital.
According to Agence France Presse, Sheffer did not specify how the woman sustained the gunshot wounds, but said she was in a stable condition.
On his way back from addressing journalists at the scene, minister Ben Gvir and three other people were injured in a spectacular car crash.
"Four additional injuries arrived as a result of the overturning of a vehicle, including Minister Itamar Ben Gvir," Sheffer said.
They "arrived in light conditions" but will remain in hospital for overnight supervision, Sheffer added.
An AFP photographer at the scene saw two damaged cars, one which had flipped over. Israeli media reported Ben Gvir had been travelling in this vehicle.
Police said the traffic department was investigating an "accident in Ramla involving two vehicles, including the vehicle of the Minister of National Security."
