Police said that the assailant was a 25-year-old Israeli citizen from the country's Arab minority. He rammed his car into an Israeli soldier standing at the bus stop, then got out of his car, stabbed him and seized his weapon.

After that, the assailant started shooting at motorists driving past. An 85-year-old man was killed by the gunfire at his car, police said. Israel's ambulance service pronounced him dead at the scene.
