There was no word yet on the identity of the attacker but Rosenfeld says it’s being treated as a terrorist attack. The Magen David Adom medical service says a fourth Israeli is in critical condition. Since September 2015, Palestinians have killed 48 Israelis, two visiting Americans and a British tourist in stabbings, shooting and car-ramming attacks. During that same time, Israeli forces have killed over 255 Palestinians; Israel says most of them were attackers, others died in clashes with Israeli forces. Most of the attacks have been stabbings against security forces, primarily in the West Bank.
