Ending the widespread speculation, the Israel Police says the Hadera stabbing in which six people were wounded, two of them critically, was a terror attack.

Police say a suspect has been located and “neutralized,” without elaborating.

They say he stabbed people in four different locations and fled on a moped.

Security sources name the assailant as Ahmad Jabareen, 36, an Israeli citizen from the nearby Arab city of Umm al-Fahm.
