One person killed in stabbing attack in Israeli mall
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - One person was killed and another wounded in a stabbing attack in an Israeli mall on Wednesday in which the assailant was also shot dead, Israeli police and medics said.
Police said it was a suspected terror attack.
Israeli medics told Reuters one of the two victims was pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital, and the attacker died at the mall in Karmiel, northern Israel.
Israeli medics said earlier on Wednesday they had treated two men in their 20s, one in a very serious condition and the other fully conscious.
Video from the scene that was shared on social media and seen by Reuters showed two men lying motionless on the floor of the mall while people tried to give them urgent medical care.
At least one of the men receiving care was wearing a green uniform, the video showed. A third man, not in uniform, was lying motionless a short distance away. No one was administering care to him.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
