SHARON REGION — One person was killed and five others were wounded in an attack in the Sharon region on June 7, 2026. Israel Police officers killed one attacker and captured a second suspect during the incident.

The attack route began at Kochav Yair and continued past Tsur Yitshak, Tsur Natan, and Selait.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is fighting a war on all fronts. "I praise the Israel Police officers who eliminated the terrorist and also captured his accomplice," Netanyahu said. He added, "The IDF, Shin Bet, and the Israel Police have managed to thwart hundreds of attacks in the West Bank in the past year, but not all of them, unfortunately."

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Israel will enforce the death penalty for any attackers captured alive. "If the terrorist is caught alive, he will be executed; this is the law, and we will demand its enforcement," Ben-Gvir said. "This is precisely why Otzma Yehudit enacted the Death Penalty for Terrorists Law. Jewish blood is not forfeit. Whoever murders a Jew will see the hangman's noose."

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said, "This morning's heinous attack in the heart of Sharon is a bloody wake-up call to the profound change that needs to happen among Israeli Arabs." Smotrich said, "Hundreds of thousands of illegal weapons, including anti-tank missiles, machine guns, and explosive devices, alongside rampant crime and nationalist extremism, are an existential threat." He said those who accept the state's sovereignty will live in peace, while those who choose the path of terror bear responsibility for their own fate.
