A Canadian citizen attempted a stabbing attack in a southern Israeli town and was 'neutralised', according to Israeli authorities. The attack, which was unsuccessful, occurred at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara, a town near the Gaza border that suffered greatly during Hamas' October 7 rampage through southern Israel. The Israeli military reported that the attacker 'exited his vehicle and threatened with a knife members of the community’s rapid response team operating in the area'. 'The rapid response team responded with fire and neutralised the suspect. No injuries to the security forces were reported,' the military stated. A police spokesperson confirmed that the attacker was a Canadian citizen. Reuters television footage depicted what seemed to be the attacker's body being transported to an ambulance.
