A terrorist attack occurred at the central bus station in Beersheba, southern Israel, on Sunday, October 6, resulting in the death of one person and injuries to nine others. Israeli police confirmed that the assailant responsible for the attack was shot and killed. The national emergency medical service, Magen David Adom (MDA), reported treating nine victims with varying degrees of injuries at the scene. Some were transferred to Soroka Medical Center, with one person in moderate to serious condition and several others with minor injuries.

This marks the second mass shooting in Israel within a week.
