An Israeli woman was killed and at least 17 others injured in car-ramming and stabbing incidents in Ra'anana, a suburb of Tel Aviv, on Monday that the police said was "a serious terror attack."

Commander of the Central District of the Israeli Police Avi Bitton said that two Palestinian suspects from the Hebron area in the occupied West Bank had been arrested and were under investigation.

The two suspects switched cars three times during their rampage, including one that they took over by stabbing the driver, and rammed the vehicles into pedestrians in several locations in Ra'anana, police said.

According to the ZAKA rescue service, at least 17 people needed medical care, including five who were in serious condition. Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, a nearby city, told reporters that a woman in her 70s sustained critical injuries and succumbed to her wounds in the hospital.
