An Arab terrorist armed with a knife approached the entrance to Netiv HaAsara and allegedly attempted to stab security forces and civilians.
Medics are treating at least two Israelis for panic attacks.
The town’s quick response team, which had previously engaged Hamas terrorists on October 7th, neutralized the attacker.
It is currently unclear if the terrorist came from Gaza or within Israeli territory. Netiv HaAsara, one of the closest Israeli towns to the Gaza Strip, was invaded by Hamas on October 7th.
