A man in his 60s was killed and four were wounded in a bus station stabbing in the city of Haifa, Israel’s ambulance service said, with the police treating it as a suspected terrorist attack.

The assailant was shot and killed by a security guard and a civilian, police said, after the attack in a central transit hub in the northern city.

Police said the assailant was an Arab citizen of Israel who had returned from abroad in May, police added. The attack is still being investigated.

Hamas praised the attack but have not claimed responsibility for it.

The attack took place as regional tensions run high regarding the fate of the Gaza ceasefire, after Israel cut off the entry of all goods and supplies on Sunday and continued carrying out airstrikes on parts of Gaza as the first phase of a ceasefire came to an end.
