Two Israeli civilians were killed and two others were wounded in a terror stabbing attack in the Israeli city of Holon on Sunday morning, police and medics said, Ednews informs via The Time of Israel.

The terrorist, a West Bank Palestinian, stabbed the victims at three different locations before being shot dead by a police officer.

“This was a complex and difficult terror attack. The casualties were at three separate locations, approximately 500 meters from each other,” Magen David Adom ambulance service medics said.

A woman aged 66 was declared dead at the scene, MDA said.

MDA said it took three victims to nearby Wolfson Medical Center: A man in his 70s in critical condition, a man aged 68 in serious condition, and a 26-year-old in moderate condition.

The critically wounded man arrived at Wolfson without vital signs, and his death was declared there, hospital officials said.

The terrorist stabbed the first victims at the entrance to a park on Moshe Dayan Street, where the woman was killed and the man aged 68 was seriously hurt.

He then continued to a nearby bus stop adjacent to a gas station, where he stabbed and critically wounded the man in his 70s, who was later declared dead.

The last victim, the 26-year-old, was stabbed at a bus parking lot on Dan Shomron Street, according to MDA.

The terrorist was shot by an officer who arrived at the scene, police said. He was brought to Shamir Medical Center in critical condition, where his death was declared a short while later, hospital officials said.

He was identified by a security source as Amar Odeh, 34, a resident of the West Bank city of Salfit. The source said he did not have an entry permit to Israel, and had no prior security-related offenses.
