An attack Monday in northern Israel killed a 75-year-old man and wounded another, first responders said, with police saying officers had "neutralised" the assailant.
Emergency services provider Magen David Adom said the attack at a junction southeast of the coastal city of Haifa involved "ramming, stabbing and shooting".
It said a 75-year-old man was killed and a 20-year-old soldier left in critical condition, both the result of "penetrating wounds", suggesting either shooting or stabbing.
The attack, which police said was carried out by a "terrorist", was the first in Israel since it resumed bombardment of the Gaza Strip last week following a January truce in its war with Hamas.
A police statement said that "a terrorist opened fire at civilians and was immediately neutralised by police forces present at the scene".
In a separate statement it said that officers who were on their way to a training session "closed in on the terrorist, returned fire and neutralised him".
Israeli police label as "terror" attacks those connected to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Magen David Adom said the 75-year-old man's death was pronounced at the scene.
A paramedic said in a statement that first responders treated the soldier who "had been hit by a vehicle and suffered penetrating injuries in the attack".
