Knife Attack in Haifa Leaves One Dead, Four Injured

The assailant, identified as a 20-year-old Druze Israeli, was killed after targeting passengers at a bus station in what authorities call a terrorist act.

  • The attack occurred Monday morning at a central bus and train station in Haifa, northern Israel, resulting in one fatality and four injuries.
  • The deceased was a 70-year-old man, while the injured include a man and woman in their 30s, a 15-year-old boy, and a 70-year-old woman, with three victims in serious condition.
  • The attacker, a Druze Israeli from Shfaram who had recently returned from abroad, was shot and killed by security personnel and an armed civilian.
  • Israeli authorities have labeled the incident a terrorist attack, the first fatal one since the January 19 ceasefire in the Gaza conflict.
  • The attack coincides with stalled negotiations between Israel and Hamas over extending the truce, with tensions heightened by Israel's recent closure of Gaza's humanitarian aid crossings.
