Two Dead in 'Rolling Terror Attack' Across Northern Israel
Two people were killed in a serial ramming and stabbing attack in northern Israel on Dec 26, 2025. The IDF is preparing an operation in the West Bank city of Qabatiya.
A peaceful morning in northern Israel was shattered by a lethal "rolling terror attack" that left two people dead. According to Reuters and local police, a Palestinian attacker carried out a series of rammings and stabbings across multiple locations on December 26, 2025, before being neutralized by a civilian.
A Trail of Violence: From Beit Shean to Afula
The violence began in the eastern city of Beit Shean, where the suspect rammed his vehicle into pedestrians, killing a 68-year-old man and injuring a 16-year-old boy. The attacker didn't stop there. He drove 8 miles (12.5km) west to Ein Harod, where he fatally stabbed an 18-year-old woman. The rampage ended near Afula when an armed civilian shot and wounded the 37-year-old suspect.
Security Breach and Retaliation
The IDF identified the attacker as a resident of Qabatiya in the West Bank. Reports from Kan News suggest he was working in Israel illegally and used his employer's vehicle for the attack. In response, Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to act "forcefully and immediately," with an operation in Qabatiya now in preparation.
