One dead, 17 wounded in suspected car-ramming and stabbing in central Israel
'I am asking residents and school kids not to go around in the streets and to wait until there is a clear picture,' Ra’anana mayor tells Channel 12
A woman was killed and another 17 wounded in suspected car ramming and stabbing attacks in central Israel on Monday.
The attacks took place in three different locations in the city of Ra’anana, according to Magen David Adom.
‘I am asking residents and school kids not to go around in the streets and to wait until there is a clear picture,” Ra’anana Mayor Chaim Broyde told Channel 12.
Police said they had arrested a Palestinian from Hebron in the West Bank who is believed to be behind the car-ramming attacks, using three different vehicles.
An eyewitness told Ha’aretz: “I saw someone stab three people next to the mall, steal a car and run people over with it.”
“MDA EMTs are treating and evacuating 14 casualties: 70 year old female in critical condition, 34 and 16 year old males in serious condition with head and limb injuries, 8 in moderate condition and 3 in mild condition,” MDA said in a statement.
This is a developing story.
