Canadian killed near Gaza border after threatening forces with knife: Israeli police
OTTAWA — Israeli police say a Canadian citizen was killed Monday after threatening local security officials with a knife near the border with the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military says the man drove to the entrance of the town of Netiv HaAsara, just 300 metres north of the Gaza border. The military says the man left his vehicle with a knife and approached the local security patrol, who opened fire and killed him.
There were no other injuries, the military said, providing a photo of a kitchen knife with a black handle. The rescue service Zaka also said nobody was injured.
A video with no sound shows security officials pointing guns at a vehicle, from which a man exits, runs briefly and falls to the ground.
