**Haifa, Israel –** A 70-year-old man was killed and four others seriously injured in a stabbing attack at a Haifa bus station Monday morning, Israeli authorities reported. The suspected assailant was also killed at the scene, though the circumstances surrounding their death remain unclear.
According to Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s emergency medical service, paramedics treated six individuals, including a man and woman in their 30s, a 15-year-old boy, and the deceased 70-year-old man. The three injured individuals suffered serious wounds.
Israeli police have classified the attack as “terrorist,” linking it to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The attack comes amidst stalled negotiations between Israel and Hamas regarding a Gaza ceasefire, following the breakdown of the initial phase of the agreement over the weekend. Tensions further escalated on Sunday when Israel blocked the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza due to a dispute with Hamas.
The incident unfolded around 9:53 AM local time. Images circulating on social media showed emergency responders treating victims at the scene. The identity of the attacker has yet to be released. Investigations into the attack are currently underway.
