Israeli police call the incident a "terrorist attack".

According to Israeli media, the suspect was on a scooter when he stabbed passers-by in four different locations. He was later shot dead by the police.

Among the six victims, one is in critical condition, one in serious condition, and another four in moderate condition, KAN reports.

Netanyahu calls for 'immediate' removal of UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon​

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on the UN chief Antonio Guterres to remove peacekeeping forces in southern Lebanon "immediately".

"Mr Secretary General, get the UNIFIL forces out of harm's way. It should be done right now, immediately," Netanyahu said in a video statement issued by his office.

Earlier this month, Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz declared Guterres persona non grata following Iran's attack on Israel.
