In May, Israel Police's 100 hotline received an urgent call reporting a Tesla crashing into several parked cars in Yanuh-Jat in northern Israel with a man menacing bystanders with a knife. When police arrived, they discovered that the suspect, wielding a knife, had entered the village moments earlier and threatened multiple individuals, yelling, "I'm committing suicide with you, I'll slaughter you one by one." He proceeded to puncture the tires of a parked car outside residential homes.

The suspect then returned to his Tesla, reversed for several dozen meters, and sped toward a group of people nearby. As they scattered to safety, he smashed into two vehicles parked along the road. After initially escaping, he was arrested later that night for interrogation. An indictment has been filed, accompanied by a request to hold him in custody until legal proceedings conclude.
