Hamas claimed responsibility for the combined ramming and stabbing attacks in Ra’anana on Monday afternoon, which left over a dozen people wounded and one person dead.
The director of the emergency medicine department at the Schneider Pediatric Center, Dr. Ron Brunett, said that seven children were brought in for treatment.
“Initially, it was unclear whether this was a terrorist attack or a vehicular incident,” Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said in a statement in Ra’anana on Monday.
"However, following swift action by the Kfar Saba police, we understood that there were two terrorists involved and two separate scenes.
Ultimately, thanks to determined action, a very quick pursuit, and the lockdown of the areas, we managed to apprehend the second terrorist.
Schools in the area were placed on lockdown, and parents were told not to take their children outside their homes, the mayor’s office announced after the attacks.
