A woman was killed and 3 others were wounded in a stabbing attack in Israel

Israeli police and medics say a woman in her 70s was killed and three other people were wounded in a stabbing attack in a suburb of Tel Aviv. The police said the attacker was a resident of the West Bank, suggesting that Sunday’s attack was carried out by a Palestinian militant. They said the attacker was “neutralized” and that a search was underway for other suspects in Holon, where the stabbings occurred. Tensions have soared across the region since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack ignited the war in Gaza last year. Israel is bracing for retaliation after the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in a strike in Lebanon and Hamas’ top political leader in an attack in Iran’s capital last week.
