Images broadcast by Israeli media show a black car, presented as that of the minister, overturned on its roof near a white car whose front hood is seriously damaged. A conscious man, whose face is not visible, is lying on his back, surrounded by numerous police and rescue workers, as well as armed men in civilian clothes.

Itamar Ben Gvir was leaving the scene in the town of Ramla, near Tel Aviv, where police said a stabbing attack had taken place shortly before.

The Israeli Ambulance Service said the woman was conscious but in serious condition and was taken to hospital for treatment.
