Four people were killed in an attack in Israel on Tuesday.
In the attack in the desert city of Beerscheva, the attacker himself was shot, a spokesman for the Zaka rescue service confirmed.
According to media reports, the assassin was a Bedouin from the Negev desert in southern Israel.
He is said to have seriously injured two other people.
According to the information, the attacker first stabbed a woman at a gas station and then rammed a cyclist with a car.
In the area of a shopping center, the man then attacked other people with a knife.
The police are assuming it was a terrorist attack.
The attacker was shot dead by a passerby.
According to media reports, he is said to be a supporter of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist militia and has already been in prison.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett expressed his condolences to the victims of the assassination.
A spokesman for the ruling Hamas in the Gaza Strip praised the attack.
"The crimes of the occupiers are to be answered with heroic actions: stabbings, ramming attacks and shootings."
In recent months, there have also been increased attacks by Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Arab-dominated eastern part of Jerusalem.
Several Palestinians were also killed in Israeli raids.
In view of the growing tensions, Israel's Foreign Minister Jair Lapid visited Jordan's King Abdullah II this month.
At the time of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan in the coming month, a new outbreak of violence is feared.
Israel conquered the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War.
The Palestinians claim the territories for their own state with East Jerusalem as the capital.
