שליח חבד ברעננה שניאור יצחקוב נדקר ע"י ערבי כשהוא צורח אללה ואכבר . השליח מדווח על כך למשטרה והם בשלהם זה לא פיגוע . לך תבנה מדינה. pic.twitter.com/lq2Xhdonie

Rabbi Yitzhakov told 103FM radio that the 17-year-old yelled "Allahu Achbar" as he was trying to stab him. The rabbi fought him off, along with the help of another passer-by who came to help. The rabbi was stabbed multiple times in the leg as they struggled. Police report that they arrested a youth who attacked two people in two different incidents in Ra'anana. Police are claiming the attacks were criminal and the attacker is mentally unstable. In the recent terror attack in Bnei Brak-Givat Shmuel, the police also initially declared it a criminal attack.
