Attacker Kills 2 in Northern Israel After Reservist Uses Vehicle to Ram Praying Palestinian

HeadlineDec 29, 2025

In northern Israel, at least two people were killed when a Palestinian man launched a car-ramming and stabbing attack in the city of Afula on Friday. Israel’s military said in response it was demolishing the home of the attacker and was launching raids across the town of Qabatiya in the occupied West Bank. The attack came a day after an Israeli army reservist in civilian clothes was caught on video ramming his vehicle into a Palestinian man who was praying peacefully on the side of the road. The reservist had been caught on camera earlier that day shooting a rifle at residents of Deir Jarir. Israel’s military said in response it had suspended the man’s status as a reservist and released him to five days of house arrest.
