The civilian security team of Netiv HaAsara thwarted an attempted stabbing attack today (Monday), eliminating the terrorist, later identified as a Canadian citizen.
The attacker – a Muslim Canadian – tried to stab IDF soldiers stationed at the entrance to the town, located in southern Israel, near the northern border with the Gaza Strip.

Medical teams treated a 61-year-old woman for shock at the scene.
Sources say the terrorist landed in Israel yesterday, rented a car for two weeks, and paid for it in advance. This morning, he left Ashdod, passed through Yad Mordechai, and then arrived at Netiv HaAsara.
