Israeli police said that a Palestinian from east Jerusalem had stabbed several guests at a hotel outside of the city, the second suspected militant attack in the area this week.
Israeli paramedics said they were evacuating two men, aged approximately 50 and 25, to the hospital.
They said both had been stabbed in their torsos and the older man was in a critical condition.
Israeli police said the attacker was arrested.
He was first tackled to the ground by an off-duty police officer who was spending time with family at the hotel when the stabbing occurred, police said.
Other hotel guests then helped restrain the attacker until police arrived.
Friday’s stabbing comes days after a shooting by two Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank that killed six people in Jerusalem.
The militant Hamas group, which runs Gaza, claimed responsibility for Monday’s attacks.
The Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and sparked a surge of violence in Israel and the occupied West Bank.
