ISRAEL: A knife-wielding man killed four people at a busy shopping center in Israel on Tuesday, according to police.

Cops said Mohammed Abu al-Kiyan, 34, drove his vehicle into a cyclist in the city of Beersheba, then hopped out, stabbed a woman at a gas station, ran to a shopping center and stabbed more people there, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

Abu al-Kiyan’s rampage ended when a civilian bus driver pulled a gun and shot him dead, according to Haaretz. Cops said Abu al-Kiyan killed four people and seriously injured two more. The victims have not been publicly identified.

Israeli authorities said Abu al-Kiyan was arrested in 2015 and spent four years in prison for planning to join ISIS and fight with the Islamist militant group in Syria.

The attack in Beersheba, the largest city in southern Israel’s Negev Desert, was the third stabbing attack in the past week, Haaretz reported. A police officer was injured in an attack on Sunday in East Jerusalem, and a 35-year-old man was wounded in a Saturday attack in Jerusalem.

Police said Abu al-Kiyan was a member of Israel’s small Bedouin population and lived in the Bedouin town of Hura, about 10 miles east of Beersheba. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett described the attack as the work of a “terrorist.” – INDIA TODAY
