Terror near Gaza border: Canadian attacker thwarted near Netiv Ha'asara
[JPost] A terror attack occurred near the Gaza border Kibbutz of Netiv Ha’asara on Monday, the IDF and police said.

"A suspect arrived at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara, exited his vehicle, and threatened with a knife members of the community’s rapid response team operating in the area," the IDF later stated of the incident.

The knife-wielding terrorist was thwarted after the rapid response team opened fire on the suspect.

Israel's emergency service, Magen David Adom (MDA), paramedics reported that the terrorist had been apprehended and that a 61-year-old woman was suffering from shock.

NO ONE WAS WOUNDED PHYSICALLY, SAYS MDA
MDA added that "no one was physically wounded."

MDA paramedics Noa Abitbul and Yossi Smadga recounted what they saw upon arrival. "We were told that a terrorist had arrived at the location, attempted to stab, and was thwarted by the security forces.

"We screened the area to make sure there were no physical injuries. A 61-year-old female suffering from anxiety symptoms is being treated on the scene by MDA teams and, as for now, does not need evacuation to a hospital."

According to Israeli media reports, the terrorist was a Canadian citizen who arrived at the entrance to the kibbutz, claiming "the IDF is killing civilians in Gaza."

The IDF later confirmed that the suspect is a foreign national. According to the military, the individual arrived in the area from within Israel as opposed to having crossed over from Gaza.
Update from Israel Hayom at 5:00 p.m. ET:
The attacker — a Moslem Canadian — tried to stab IDF soldiers stationed at the entrance to the town.

Sources say the terrorist landed in Israel yesterday, rented a car for two weeks, and paid for it in advance. This morning, he left Ashdod, passed through Yad Mordechai, and then arrived at Netiv HaAsara.
Update from The Sun at 9:40 p.m. ET — we have a name:
He was identified by a public broadcaster as Qawarshi Zakaria Adam, a Canadian citizen.

The IDF claimed the man threatened the armed civilian unit stationed at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara, a town near the Gaza border, with a knife on Monday morning.

Footage of the killing showed three soldier-looking civilians shoot the man moving towards them, with Adam then collapsing to the ground. Photos from the scene show Adam dead in a pool of his own blood as police and soldiers stand near the body investigating the killing.
