As a precaution, schools in Hadera were closed until authorities confirmed the situation was under control, as reported by Israeli Army Radio.
This attack comes after a call from Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, on the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood, urging increased military operations against the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and within the occupied Palestinian territories.
Since the start of the Israeli assault on Gaza on October 7, 2023, there has been a noticeable rise in stabbing and shooting incidents targeting Israelis at checkpoints and within the occupied territories.
