The Magen David Adom rescue service says its medics are treating six people wounded in a shooting attack at a bus stop in southern Israel.
The wounded are being transferred to the Assuta Hospital in Ashdod and the Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot.
MDA says medics are trying to resuscitate a 20-year-old man in critical condition.
They are also treating a 20-year-old man, a 16-year-old boy and a 65-year-old man in serious condition.
Two other people, including a 65-year-old woman, are in moderate condition.
Police say the terrorist arrived at the scene in a vehicle and opened fire on a bus stop until he was shot and killed by a civilian at the scene.
Police say that a large force is conducting searches at the scene to ensure no other terrorists are involved.
