An Israeli settler was killed and several others were injured in a combined ramming, stabbing, and shooting operation in the Yokneam Illit area, east of Haifa, Israeli media reported on Monday.
According to “Israel’s” Magen David Adom ambulance service, the person who carried out the operation was shot and killed at the scene.
Reports indicate that the person who carried out the operation initially drove his vehicle into a group of settlers waiting at a bus stop at Tishbi Junction before exiting the car and opening fire, injuring multiple Israelis.
Israeli channel Kan said the Palestinian who carried out the attack was from the 1948 occupied territories.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces continue their assaults on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank amid the genocidal war they are waging in Gaza.
MSF warns of dire conditions for displaced Palestinians in West Bank
Earlier on Monday, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) sounded the alarm over the dire humanitarian conditions faced by Palestinians forcibly displaced by the ongoing Israeli aggression on the occupied West Bank.
Since January 21, around 40,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee their homes, according to the United Nations. The West Bank, under Israeli occupation since 1967, is home to three million Palestinians and nearly 500,000 Israeli settlers living in settlements deemed illegal under international law.
MSF described the situation as “extremely precarious,” warning that displaced Palestinians lack adequate shelter, essential services, and access to healthcare.
“The mental health situation is alarming,” the organization added.
Brice de la Vingne, the organization’s Director of Operations, stressed that “people are unable to return to their homes as Israeli forces have blocked access to the camps, destroying homes and infrastructure,” urging “Israel” to halt the operation and calling for an expanded humanitarian response.
MSF noted that the scale of forced displacement and destruction in the West Bank “has not been seen in decades.”
The Israeli military campaign, dubbed “Iron Wall,” is primarily focused on the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams refugee camps. Security Minister Yoav Gallant previously stated that Israeli forces would maintain a presence in the evacuated areas for an extended period. “I have instructed (the soldiers) to prepare for a prolonged stay in the evacuated camps for the coming year and not to allow the return of their residents or the resurgence of terrorism,” he said in February.
