Hebrew outlets report that the terrorist who carried out a stabbing attack in Haifa’s Hamifratz central bus station is a Druze citizen of Israel who also holds German citizenship.

The assailant apparently lived abroad for some time before returning to Israel around a month ago.

According to eyewitness testimonies, the attacker was around 20 years old and arrived at the station on a bus coming from Shfar’am.

He was shot dead at the scene.
