Magen David Adom paramedics treated the two victims, both men in their twenties, at the scene before evacuating them to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, where one of them died of his injuries.

The terrorist was shot dead by the second victim, Israeli Police Northern District Commander Maj. Gen. Shuki Tahauko told local media after assessing the situation.

Tahauko told reporters that the terrorist arrived at the mall on foot before stabbing the two victims, one of whom managed to “keep his cool and immediately neutralize the terrorist.”

Police identified the terrorist as an Arab of Israeli nationality from the nearby town of Nahf. Tahauko reportedly ordered the arrest of his relatives, with local media reporting a heavy police presence in Nahf.

“When I got to the mall, I was sent to the second floor. I saw two victims, males in their 20s, lying near the stalls with penetrating injuries. One of them was unconscious,” said MDA paramedic Ran Moskowitz.

On Tuesday, an Israeli was moderately injured when Palestinian terrorists fired on the Mitzpe Yosef outpost on Mount Gerizim near Nablus (Shechem) in Samaria.
