Police say Modiin attack was nationalistically motivated
A 39-year-old Palestinian man arrested in connection with an attack on two workers at construction sites in Modiin earlier today committed the act for nationalistic motives, police say.
Two people were wounded in attacks allegedly committed by the same person, police say.
One of the injured individuals, a 28-year-old man, was transferred to the Tel Hashomer Medical Center for treatment of wounds sustained in his upper body. The second wounded man, 50, was treated at the scene for injuries to his upper body as well.
Police originally thought the alleged attack was carried out with a knife, but later reports state that the suspect assaulted the two men with a large metal bar.
