At least 13 people have been injured after being struck by a vehicle in the central Israeli city of Raanana on Monday.
The alleged car-ramming incident took place across three locations in the city, a short distance north of Tel Aviv.
There were also reports of at least one person being stabbed, although it is unclear if the incidents were linked.
The Magen David Adom (MDA) ambulance service said that the confirmed number of people injured is likely to rise with the ramming incident having taken place across three separate locations.
The victims include a woman in her 70s in critical condition and a man aged 34 and a 16-year-old in serious condition, MDA said.
Four children are also among those injured, according to The Times of Israel, with all taken to hospital in a “moderate condition”.
The incidents reportedly took place in Haroshet Street and Ahuza Street, which is the main street in the city.
Israeli police say the suspect, who has been arrested, is a Palestinian from the West Bank city of Hebron.
“This was apparently a suspected terrorist ramming attack,” police said in a statement. The injured were taken to hospitals for treatment, it added.
Ra’anana Mayor Chaim Broyde has urged peopleto stay inside as authorities deal with the incident and assess the situation.
Citing witnesses in an earlier report, Army Radio said the incident may have been a car-jacking during which the stolen vehicle crashed.
The incident comes amid heightened security tensions over the more than three-month-old war with Hamas militants in Gaza.
