A car ran over several pedestrians at a bus stop in the north of Thursday afternoon, 27. According to Israeli press, 14 people were injured, including a 17-year-old who is in critical condition and two serious people.
According to an Israeli police statement, the driver fled after the attack, but was spotted by police. He hit a car before being shot and killed by the police. The Israeli government treats running over as a terrorist attack.
Subsequently, police identified the perpetrator as a 53 -year -old Palestinian from a village near Jenin in northern West Bank. He was married to an Israeli Arab woman and had entered illegally in Israel.
Ais aharoni, head of the police spokesman division, reported in an interview with the Israeli portal Be fated that the man threatened the police with a screwdriver before being killed. “We are still performing exams to find out if he took the opportunity and acted alone or if there were other accomplices,” he said.
