A Jewish man was hospitalized with light to moderate wounds after he was stabbed in a parking lot in Haifa suburb of Kiryat Ata by a Jewish man who mistook him for an Arab, in what authorities are characterizing as an apparently misdirected hate crime. The assailant was apparently seeking to harm an Arab in revenge for a series of Arab terror attacks on Jews.

Police took the perpetrator of the failed apparent revenge attack into custody.

Because the perp is a Jew looking to murder an Arab, they refuse to call it terrorism. With no Arabs there to arrest or shoot, they had no choice but to arrest the perp.
