An Israeli soldier was seriously wounded in a terror attack near the northern town of Yokne’am earlier today, the military announces.

The terrorist initially rammed his vehicle into people waiting at a bus stop at Tishbi Junction on Route 66, then exited his car and stabbed the 20-year-old soldier.

He then grabbed the soldier’s rifle and opened fire, killing an elderly man who was driving on the road.

The soldier, who serves as a heavy-load truck driver in the Armored Corps, was taken to Rambam Hospital for treatment, where he is listed in serious condition.
