Eight Israelis were lightly hurt in a suspected terror stabbing attack near the central Israeli city of Modiin on Thursday evening, medics and police said.
Officials said the assailant stopped his vehicle at a traffic light, close to the Shilat junction, and began to open car doors and attack people with a knife and pepper spray.
According to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, two men in separate cars — aged 39 and 23 — were treated for minor stab wounds to their hands.
Another five people — passengers of the two cars — were treated by MDA medics after being maced with pepper spray.
The attacker was shot dead by an off-duty Border Police officer who was in the area, police said.
MDA added that the officer was also treated for a minor injury.
