There are conflicting reports about the condition of the injured. One report from Israel's Red Cross, Magen David Adom, said one of the injured was in a severe condition. A second report from a volunteer emergency services worker on the scene said both the injured men had suffered stab wounds to the upper body and were in a moderate condition.

Police said a policeman fired at the attacker; Israel's ZAKA emergency response service said the attacker was dead.
