Mall attack in Karmiel: murdered and seriously wounded by stab wounds
Young people were injured in the attack at the “Chutzat Karmiel” mall and were taken to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, where one of them was pronounced dead.
The footage shows the terrorist, an Arab-Israeli resident of Nahaf, attacking them with a knife – and being shot dead within seconds. North District Police Commander:
“He arrived on foot, we raised the alert level in the area”
MDA CEO Eli Bin said shortly after the attack that the teams were “fighting for the life of one of the wounded”, on whom they performed CPR. He was pronounced dead at the aforementioned hospital. The condition of the second injured is defined as serious.
Many police forces arrived at the scene, where one of the terrorist’s sisters was brought for the purpose of identifying him and continuing the investigation. The police said that “a report was received at Moked about a suspected stabbing incident in the city of Karmiel, during which two men were injured.
The stabber was neutralized at the scene.” Superintendent Tachouka said that this was a serious attack: “A terrorist who arrived on foot entered the mall and stabbed two people.
He informed about raising the alert level, which is already high since the beginning of the war. “The entire area is closed, under the control of the Israel Police. The security forces are with us.
. At the same time we are scanning the immediate area, both the second circles and the city and basically the entire district, urban settlements, shopping malls, crowded places,” he said
Regarding the identity of the terrorist, he said that “the investigation is in its infancy. I prefer at this stage, I know there are all kinds of rumors, wait patiently.”
“Two stabbing victims were brought to Galilee Medical Center,” reported Dr. Michael Weiss, head of the trauma department. “One is in moderate to serious condition with stab wounds to the chest and shoulder.
After we stabilized him in the trauma room, we moved him to the intensive care unit. The second victim arrived in critical condition while we were trying to resuscitate him. He had severe injuries to his upper chest, the base of his neck, and major blood vessels. Despite our efforts, we couldn’t save him and had to pronounce him dead.”
