A 70-year-old citizen lost his life in a knife attack that took place yesterday morning in the city of Haifa, located in northern Israel. Three people, including a 15-year-old child, were seriously injured in the attack.
The incident occurred at the Hamifratz bus stop during the busy morning rush hour, where the attacker began randomly stabbing bystanders as soon as he got off the bus. Eyewitnesses reported that the attacker suddenly launched the assault without any warning.
A security officer who quickly intervened neutralized the attacker by shooting him. The police confirmed that the attacker was an Israeli citizen but did not provide detailed information about his identity.
Following the attack, the Hamas organization described the act as "heroic" in a statement and called for similar attacks to continue across Israel. This situation has further heightened tensions and security concerns in the region.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated in a press conference after the attack, "We will continue to fight against those who threaten our lives everywhere, and we will definitely defeat them."
Local security forces have increased checks in the city center and urged citizens to be cautious in suspicious situations and to report to the authorities. The Mayor of Haifa announced that security measures have been raised to the highest level throughout the city.
