A Palestinian has stabbed three Israelis in the central city of Raanana, seriously wounding one of them, before being shot and arrested by Israeli forces.
According to JTA, the 20-year-old Palestinian, from the West Bank, who was illegally living in Israel, stabbed three people on a residential street on Saturday afternoon after unsuccessfully trying to enter a synagogue, and then entered at least one home before being captured by police.
One of those stabbed was seriously injured in the stomach and two were lightly injured, according to reports.
Residents were ordered to remain inside their homes following the attacks. Raanana is home to many immigrants from English-speaking countries and France.
