A Palestinian killed two people in a stabbing and car-ramming attack in northern Israel on Friday, triggering the military to launch a crackdown on the assailant’s village in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n
“Preliminary investigation indicates this was a rolling terror attack that began in the city of Beit Shean, where a pedestrian was run over,” Israeli police said in a statement about Friday’s attack, adding that the victim was a 68-year-old man.<\/p>\n
“Later, a young woman was stabbed near Road 71, and the suspect was ultimately engaged with gunfire near Maonot Junction in Afula following intervention by a civilian bystander,” it said, adding that the attacker was taken to hospital.<\/p>\n
Both victims succumbed to the injuries, Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency services said in a statement.<\/p>\n
MDA also reported that a 16-year-old was slightly injured when “hit by a vehicle”.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military said the attacker had “infiltrated into Israeli territory several days ago”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
