Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel - August 04, 2024

A 66-year-old woman and a 70-year-old man were killed Sunday, and two other people were wounded, in a Palestinian stabbing attack in the Israeli town of Holon, on the southern outskirts of Tel Aviv, emergency medical services reported.

The attacker, a Palestinian identified as 34-year-old West Bank resident Amar Odeh, was neutralized by a police officer in the area of the incident, an Israel Police statement said.

This stabbing comes at the height of tensions in the country over the death of Hamas terrorist group leader Ismail Haniyeh, after which the Islamist organization called on the West Bank population to "make the (Israeli) occupation and its allies pay the price for their crimes", among other messages extolling the use of violence.

The 66-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene of the attack by the Magen David Adom emergency service; while the 70-year-old man, who was in critical condition, died shortly afterwards at Holon's Wolfston hospital.
