An attack Monday in northern Israel killed a 75-year-old man and wounded another, first responders said, with police saying officers had "neutralised" the assailant.
Emergency services provider Magen David Adom said the attack at a junction southeast of the coastal city of Haifa involved "ramming, stabbing and shooting".
It said a 75-year-old man was killed and a 20-year-old man left in critical condition, both the result of "penetrating wounds", suggesting either shooting or stabbing.
The attack, which police said was carried out by a "terrorist", was the first in Israel since it resumed bombardment of the Gaza Strip last week following a January truce in its war on the enclave.
A police statement said that "a terrorist opened fire at civilians and was immediately neutralised by police forces present at the scene".
In a separate statement, it said that officers who were on their way to a training session "closed in on the terrorist, returned fire and neutralised him".
Israeli police label as "terror" attacks those connected to the war on Gaza.
Magen David Adom said the 75-year-old man's death was pronounced at the scene.
A paramedic said in a statement that first responders treated the 20-year-old victim who "had been hit by a vehicle and suffered penetrating injuries in the attack".
