On Friday morning, a woman in Herzliya aged around 80 was stabbed to death by a terrorist.

The stabbing, which took place on Kdoshei Hashoah Street, was initially reported by Magen Dovid Adom as resulting in “very serious” injuries.

However, the woman succumbed to multiple stab wounds, and she was declared dead shortly after arriving at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

The hospital reported, “She was brought to the hospital with multiple stab wounds and, despite efforts at resuscitation, the hospital was forced to declare her dead upon arrival.”

Security guards neutralized the terrorist at the scene by shooting him in the leg.

He was identified as an Arab man from Tulkarm who had previously spent time in Israeli prisons but who gave no prior warning of an attack.

Tel Aviv District police commander Haim Sergoff told Arutz Sheva, “Security guards from Brinks heard shouts of, ‘Allahu akhbar,’ identified the stabbings, fired shots, and hit the terrorist, who is a resident of the [Palestinian Authority-controlled] territories.”
