A stabbing attack left one person dead and four others wounded in Haifa, Israel, on Monday.
Police said they were treating the stabbing, which took place in a central transit hub, as a militant attack. A security guard and a civilian killed the attacker, who police said was an Arab citizen of Israel who had recently returned to Israel after some time abroad.
"My wife Sara and I extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim of the horrific terrorist attack in Haifa, and we send our wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.
"We will continue to fight those who seek to harm us – wherever they are – and we will defeat them," he added.
