Israeli police said at least six people were wounded, some seriously according to emergency responders, in a stabbing in four locations of Hadera city, describing it as a "terrorist attack".
"The attack took place on four different sites where six people were stabbed... a short time ago, the police located the suspect and neutralised him by shooting," said a police statement.
"We treated several injured individuals in varying conditions, some of whom were in serious condition," said emergency service provider Magen David Adom.
"We provided life-saving medical treatment and began transporting them to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center," it added.
The attack comes more than a week after seven people were killed in a shooting and stabbing claimed by Hamas in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
