Multiple dead as 'terror' strikes Israel, days after IDF reservist ran over praying Palestinian

Israeli authorities say a stabbing and car‑ramming spree in northern Israel on December 26 left two people dead and two others wounded, in what officials described as one of the deadliest single‑attacker assaults in months. The attacker, identified as a Palestinian from Qabatiya in the northern West Bank, allegedly entered Israeli territory illegally several days earlier and used a vehicle belonging to his employer to carry out the rampage.
