At least one dead and 17 injured in alleged car attacks in Israel | News


Police say two suspects from Hebron were arrested after the attacks in Ra'anana, near Tel Aviv.

At least one person has been killed and 17 wounded in car attacks in central Israel, according to police and medical officials.

Israeli police said two Palestinian suspects from the occupied West Bank city of Hebron were arrested in connection with Monday's attacks in the city of Raanana, north of Tel Aviv.

“Both suspects, residents of Hebron, who entered Israel illegally, are in police custody,” police said in X.

In an earlier statement, police said two suspects stole vehicles and ran over several residents at different locations.

“An injured woman who arrived in critical condition after being hit by a vehicle died from her injuries despite our efforts to save her,” said a statement from Meir Medical Center, near the scene of the attacks.

At least 17 other people were being treated for injuries, two of them seriously, doctors at the Magen David Adom emergency service said.

Al Jazeera's Sara Khairat, reporting from Tel Aviv, said police were investigating.

“The police chief says they are still trying to figure out what really happened, but so far it is believed that one of the attackers stole a car from a car wash,” he said.
