HADERA, ISRAEL. OCTOBER 9, 2024
A man later identified as an Arab Muslim citizen of Israel went on a terroristic rampage early Wednesday morning stabbing pedestrians at random while riding around on a moped. Six people were wounded with two in critical condition before several armed pedestrians cornered the assailant. They shouted at him in Hebrew and Arabic to drop his weapon and surrender but received no compliance from the crazed knifer, with at least two of the armed pedestrians opening fire. Minutes later, a Hadera police officer arrived on scene and cuffed the subdued terrorist while shouting at the pedestrians to "stop any further shooting" and that the situation was under control. It is not known if the perp had sustained any hits but he was taken down and dogpiled by armed civilians before police arrived on scene and many more people had been saved.
This latest attack comes on the one year anniversary of a series of Barbary Coast pirate style raids on Oct 7th, 2023 when Hamas terrorists infiltrated southern Israel by the hundreds, killing over 1,400 civilians and soldiers alike and taking hundreds of hostages. Ever since then, Israel had relaxed it's firearms ownership rules and could have possibly further expanded concealed carry provisions by licensed pistol owners, two of which are credited with stopping a would be knife massacre cold in it's tracks this morning in Hadera.
