One dead in Israel stabbing attack

A stabbing attack at a transport station in the Israeli city of Haifa left one person dead and several wounded on Monday. "A terrorist exited a bus, stabbed multiple civilians, and was subsequently neutralized by a security guard and a civilian at the scene," the police said in a statement.

It said the perpetrator was a member of Israel's Druze minority from the northern Israeli town of Shfaram who had returned to Israel last week after several months abroad. It was the first fatal attack in Israel since a ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip on January 19 between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.
