A man in his 70s was killed, and a man in his 20s was wounded in a terror ramming, stabbing, and shooting attack that occurred at HaTishbi Junction on Route 66 near Yokne’am on Monday, police and Israel’s emergency response service Magen David Adom (MDA) reported.
Police said the terrorist rammed his car into civilians who were standing at a bus stop, after which he exited the vehicle and opened fire. He was subsequently thwarted by police. According to Israeli media, police officers were passing by the scene on their way to unit training when they noticed a terrorist armed with a weapon firing at civilians.
MDA paramedics initially provided medical treatment to the man in his 70s, who was in critical condition. However, paramedics were subsequently forced to pronounce him dead.
Paramedics also treated a 20-year-old individual in a serious, unstable condition who was urgently evacuated to the hospital.

Paramedics arrive at the scene
MDA paramedic Ofer Vinik recounted what he saw upon arrival at the scene. “We arrived at the location and saw a male around 70 years old and a male around 20 near the bus stop, both suffering from penetrating wounds. We performed medical examinations on the 70-year-old male, but he had no pulse and was not breathing, and unfortunately, we had to pronounce him dead at the scene.
“Additional MDA teams provided medical treatment to the 20-year-old, who was conscious, and urgently evacuated him in an MDA mobile intensive care unit to the hospital in a serious and unstable condition.”
This is a developing story.
