More than 15 Israelis were injured, three of them seriously, after they were run over in the city of Raanana in the Tel Aviv region, on Monday.

According to the initial suspicion, the talk revolves around two run-overs and stabbings that occurred in 3 locations according to Israeli reports.

Maariv newspaper quoted the mayor of Raanana as saying that extensive combing operations had begun in the city with the help of helicopters, while Israeli Channel 7 said that the mayor there "asks residents not to go out into the streets."

Israeli media also reported the arrest of a Palestinian from Hebron on suspicion of carrying out these ramming and stabbing operations, following its talk about what it called the “neutralization” of the vehicle driver, and that the police were conducting searches for other suspects.

The Israeli police stated that they were dealing with an exceptional event near Tel Aviv and were conducting an extensive investigation, noting that a Palestinian carried out the stabbing and then ran over a number of others in Raanana.

Special forces participate in the operation

Israeli police estimated that the perpetrator seized two cars during the attack, pointing to the deployment of special forces in Raanana to try to understand the scale of the attack.
