At least five people were wounded, including one fatally, in a terrorist stabbing attack in the northern Israeli city of Haifa Monday morning.
The attack occurred at a bus stop adjacent to the Lev HaMifratz Mall (Cinemall), near the Haifa Central Bus Station just after 9:50 a.m. Monday when a terrorist began stabbing pedestrians waiting at the bus stop.
There are currently unverified reports that a second terrorist was also involved in the attack.
Police have dispatched forces to the area and launched a manhunt for additional terrorists.
Emergency first responders from Magen David Adom (MDA) and United Hatzalah were called to the scene to treat the wounded and evacuate them to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.
Paramedics were forced to declare one victim, a 70-year-old man, dead at the scene.
According to an MDA spokesperson, four other victims were treated at the scene before being evacuated to Rambam Medical Center, including three people in serious condition including a man and a woman in their early 30s and a teenage boy roughly 15 years of age.
In addition, a 70-year-old woman is listed in moderate condition.
MDA chief spokesman Zaki Heller said that the terrorist responsible for the stabbing was shot and killed during the attack by soldiers and armed civilians.
Witnesses say the terrorist took a bus to Haifa, and, upon his arrival, got off the bus and began shouting “Allahu Akbar” before stabbing his victims.
The attack comes just days after a Palestinian Arab terrorist illegally residing in northern Israel rammed into pedestrians waiting at a bus stop at Karkur Junction near Pardes Hanna last Thursday, injuring 14 people, one of them critically.
