At least two people have reportedly been killed and six others injured, two of them in critical condition, during a “stabbing” incident in the city of Haifa in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
According to reports, the person behind the anti-Israeli operation that took place at the central bus terminal on the city’s Histadrut Boulevard was also killed by Israeli forces, Press TV reported.
Earlier reports had pointed to the death of one and wounding of four others as a result of the incident, which was met with immediate gunfire from Israeli forces.
Initial reports had also indicated that two individuals had carried out the operation.
However, Israeli forces have yet to confirm whether a second suspect was involved, and the regime is leading a search operation.
Eyewitnesses reported chaotic scenes as Israeli occupation forces mistakenly shot at an illegal Israeli settler, believing him to be one of the attackers.
Emergency medical teams from the regime’s Magen David Adom (MDA) transported the wounded to the Rambam Hospital, where medical personnel confirmed that several of those injured were in serious condition, while one remained in moderate condition.
The incident comes amid the regime’s continued deadly and destructive escalation throughout the occupied West Bank.
