Police say the stabbing at Beersheba’s central bus station was a terror attack.

The victim, in his 20s, has been taken to Soroka Hospital in good condition, the Magen David Adom ambulance says.

“The terrorist who carried out the stabbing attack was neutralized at the scene,” police say.

The assailant’s condition is not immediately known, although footage appears to show him lying on the ground after being shot.
