A stabbing attack at a bus and train station in the Israeli city of Haifa left one person dead and several wounded, medics said, in what police called a "terror attack".
"A terrorist exited a bus, stabbed multiple civilians, and was subsequently neutralised by a security guard and a civilian at the scene," the police said in a statement.
It said the perpetrator was a member of Israel's Druze minority from the northern Israeli town of Shfaram who had returned to Israel last week after several months abroad.
Attacks by members of the Arabic-speaking Druze community are rare, as they are generally considered to have a strong allegiance to the Israeli state.
It was the first fatal attack in Israel since a ceasefire took effect in Gaza on 19 January between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The attack came as negotiations between the two sides stalled after the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire ended at the weekend.
Medical teams "have pronounced the death of a man around 70 years old and are providing medical treatment to and evacuating four injured individuals", Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said.
It said a man and woman around 30 years of age, as well as a 15-year-old boy were seriously injured.
Israeli police label as "terror" attacks those connected to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Police had originally reported the attack as a shooting.
The coastal city of Haifa is home to a mixed Jewish and Arab population.
Hamas hailed the attack as a "heroic operation" and called it a response to Israeli "crimes" against Palestinians.
It comes as two Palestinians were killed in Israeli drone fire in the central area of Rafah in southern Gaza, medics and Hamas media said.
