Damage from a reported twin ramming attack in Ra’anana, a suburb of Tel Aviv.

Jerusalem: A woman in her 70s was killed on Monday and 17 other people were injured in twin attacks in the central Israeli city of Raanana, according to hospitals treating the victims, CNN reported.

The report from Israeli police said two suspects stole vehicles and ran over several people in the city north of Tel Aviv, in what it called a “suspected hit-and-run terror attack.”

The suspects, who were from the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank and were related to each other, have been detained, police said.

The attacks came the day after Israel’s war against Hamas passed the 100-day mark.

Without claiming responsibility, Hamas said the attacks were “a natural response to the occupation’s massacres and its continued aggression against our Palestinian people” and called for more attacks against Israel.

Police said sweeps were still being conducted in the area to ensure there were no further threats, the report said.

耶路撒冷：據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN) 報道，據治療受害者的醫院稱，週一在以色列中部城市拉阿納納發生的兩起襲擊事件中，一名70 多歲的婦女被殺，另有17 人受傷。

以色列警方的報告稱，兩名嫌疑人在特拉維夫北部城市偷車並碾壓數人，這被稱為「疑似肇事逃逸恐怖攻擊」。

警方稱，這些嫌疑犯來自被佔領的約旦河西岸希伯崙市，彼此有親屬關係，現已被拘留。

這些攻擊發生在以色列與哈馬斯的戰爭結束 100 天後的第二天。

哈馬斯沒有聲稱對此事負責，但表示這些襲擊是“對佔領軍大屠殺及其對巴勒斯坦人民持續侵略的自然反應”，並呼籲對以色列發動更多襲擊。

警方表示，仍在該地區進行掃蕩，以確保不再出現威脅。
