Dubai police deny reports of stabbing attack against Israelis
ANKARA (AA) — Police in Dubai have denied media reports claiming that four Israelis were stabbed in the emirate.
“Safety and security are of paramount importance in the United Arab Emirates (UAE),” the Dubai Media Office said in a statement on X, urging media outlets “to refer to official channels for accurate information.”
The statement came after Israeli news outlets reported that four Israelis were injured in a stabbing in Dubai and that security forces had arrested the assailant.
Last week, two Israelis were killed in the Egyptian city of Alexandria, a day after fighting erupted in Israel as Gaza-based Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise attack.
Ten days into the crisis, Israeli bombardment and blockade of the Gaza Strip has continued, with over 1 million people – almost half the total population of Gaza – having been displaced, according to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
Gaza is experiencing a dire humanitarian crisis with no electricity, while water, food, fuel, and medical supplies are running out, as civilians flee to the south following Israeli warning to evacuate northern areas.
The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza has risen to 2,750, including 750 children.
