A man was moderately wounded Wednesday morning after being stabbed in Or Akiva, south of Haifa.
The victim, around 50 years of age, was attacked in an industrial zone north of the working class town, according to Walla News.
He was evacuated to a Hadera hospital by Magen David Adom paramedics.
The circumstances of the stabbing — including whether it was criminal or nationalistic in nature — were not immediately clear.
Israel has in the past year been plagued by a wave of so-called “lone wolf” Palestinian terror attacks. The attacks have claimed the lives of 35 Israelis and four foreign nationals since October in a spate of car-ramming, stabbing, shooting, and bombing attacks.
