A Palestinian killed three Israelis in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, stabbing two men to death and knifing several others, then killing another with a stolen car before being shot dead himself, officials said.

The deadly rampage came hours before Israel swears in its new parliament, with far-right lawmakers poised to be members of the cabinet vowing a crackdown on violence.

The Israeli army reported a “stabbing attack” near the Ariel Industrial Zone in the northern West Bank.

The attacker then headed to “a nearby gas station and stabbed additional civilians,” the army said, stole a car and fled.
