JAKARTA - An Israeli soldier was killed and one person injured in a stabbing attack at an Israeli mall. The attacker was shot dead.

Israeli police said the stabbing on Wednesday, July 3 was a terrorist attack. Israel's Ynet news site said the suspected attacker was a Joud Rabia from Nahaf, a city in Israel.

No group has claimed responsibility, although the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group in a post on the Telegram site described the attack as a "heroic operation".

Israeli medics told Reuters one of the two victims was pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital, and the assailant died at a mall in Karmiel, northern Israel.

Israel's Defense Ministry identified the death toll as Aleksandr Iakiminskyi, a 19-year-old sergeant in the Israeli military.

Videos shared on social media and viewed by Reuters showed two men lying motionless on the mall floor while people were trying to take medical action.

The third person, who was not in uniform, was lying motionless at a fairly close distance.
