Palestinian Driver Kills 1, Injures 13 in Suspected Terror Attack in Israel

The attack at Karkur Junction involved a car-ramming and stabbing before police fatally shot the suspect.

A 53-year-old Palestinian man from Jenin, living illegally in Israel, rammed his car into pedestrians at a bus stop in Karkur Junction, injuring 14 people, including a critically wounded 17-year-old girl.
The suspect continued driving, hitting a police car and injuring officers, before exiting his vehicle with a sharp object and being fatally shot by Israeli police.
Victims include two individuals in serious condition, one in moderate condition, and several others with minor injuries; all were treated at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center.
Israeli police identified the incident as a terror attack, citing deliberate targeting of civilians, and noted the suspect's illegal residence in Israel while married to an Israeli citizen.
Hamas praised the attack, calling it a response to Israeli actions, while the incident follows recent tensions, including a ceasefire with Hamas and increased Israeli military operations in the West Bank.
