Israeli officials say an attacker in a vehicle ran over several people at a bus stop in northern Israel before opening fire, killing a man in his 70s.
Police said they “neutralized” the attacker, without elaborating or providing a nationality. They referred to it as a terrorist attack, indicating they believe the assailant was a Palestinian militant.
Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service said a man in his 70s was killed and another man, around 20 years old, was taken to a hospital in serious condition.
There has been a surge in Palestinian attacks since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, rampage into southern Israel ignited the war in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has carried out wide-scale military operations in the occupied West Bank that have killed hundreds of Palestinians, and there has also been a rise in attacks by Jewish settlers.
