One person was killed and eight people were wounded on Sunday afternoon in a combined shooting and stabbing near the central bus station in Be’er Sheva, according to police and medics.

“A report was received at Magen David Adom’s 101 emergency call center in the Negev region of casualties near the central bus station in Be’er Sheva,” said MDA in a statement.

A critically wounded woman was being treated at the scene by MDA first responders, the organization added. She soon died.

MDA medics evacuated eight victims to the city’s Soroka Medical Center, including one with moderate to serious wounds, four who sustained moderate wounds and three who were lightly wounded.

The Israel Police said that “the terrorist has been neutralized and many police forces of the southern district are on the scene.”
