A suspected Palestinian attacker killed two people in northern Israel in what police are calling a "rolling terror attack." The attacker first rammed a pedestrian in Beit Shean, killing a 68-year-old man and injuring a 16-year-old boy. He then drove to Ein Harod and stabbed an 18-year-old woman, killing her. The suspect, a 37-year-old man from Qabatiya in the occupied West Bank who had been working illegally in Israel, was later shot and wounded by a civilian near Afula. The IDF is preparing an operation in Qabatiya. The attack occurred a day after an Israeli reservist was fired for ramming a praying Palestinian man with a quad bike in the West Bank.
