STORYLINE:
An Israeli police spokesperson stated that a stabbing attack in the Israeli city of Haifa on Monday was "carried out by a terrorist who is an Israeli Druze."

A man in his 60s was killed and four other people were wounded in the attack, police said.

Israeli authorities said the assailant was killed.

"He gets off the bus, runs towards the security guards who immediately neutralize him," said Israeli police spokesperson Asi Aharoni.

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.

The attack took place as regional tensions are high surrounding the fate of the ceasefire in Gaza.

The militant group Hamas praised the attack but stopped short of claiming responsibility for it.
