Knife-Wielding Motorist Injures Eight In Suspected Terror Attack In Israel

Knife found at the scene after a man, who was later shot dead by police, killed four members of his extended family in Queens

Israel was once again struck by violence on Wednesday as a knife-wielding motorist carried out a suspected terror attack in the coastal city of Hadera. The assailant, identified as an Israeli-Arab man from Umm el-Fahm, went on a stabbing spree across the city, leaving eight people injured. The incident occurred amidst rocket attacks in Israel’s northeastern region that claimed two lives.

The rampage in Hadera resulted in eight individuals being hospitalized, with one victim in grave condition and another in critical condition. Four others sustained moderate injuries, one was lightly injured, and an eighth person was hospitalized for anxiety.

The suspect was eventually subdued by armed residents before the police arrived at the scene. He was shot and wounded during the apprehension. The attacks in Israel come at a time when the nation is facing conflicts with Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Biden are set to discuss Israel’s planned retaliatory action against Iran following a recent missile strike on the country. The Biden administration has expressed concerns over Israel’s security measures and urged restraint in potential military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The White House has advised Israel to maintain proportionality in its response and avoid targeting Iranian nuclear or oil facilities. The specifics of Israel’s anticipated retaliation remain unclear as tensions in the region continue to escalate.
