At least 14 people have been injured in an attack near Tel Aviv in Israel, emergency services have said.

According to local media, they were injured in a suspected car-ramming and stabbing attack, in Raanana, in which the suspect is said to have stolen three different cars.

Israeli police say the incident “increasingly looks like” it is terror-related, though officers have not confirmed it as a terror attack.

Police have arrested a Palestinian man from the West Bank city of Hebron, according to local media reports.

A 70-year-old woman is in a critical condition, while a 34-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy are in a serious condition, according to Israel’s national ambulance service, Magen David Adom (MDA).

Eight people of the injured are said to be in a “moderate” condition, with three in a “mild” condition, according to paramedics.
