Police say the terrorist who carried out the stabbing attack at Gan Yavne’s “Friendly” mall attacked three people with two knives.
The three were taken to a hospital in serious condition.
A police officer and a municipal security officer who heard a commotion rushed to the scene, where they then fatally shot the terrorist.
According to Hebrew-language media, the suspected terrorist, identified as a 19-year-old Palestinian from the Hebron area in the southern West Bank, had worked at a store at the mall.
