Israeli families are stocking up on pepper spray and turning everyday objects into impromptu "weapons" as they attempt to defend themselves against the terror attacks.
On Tuesday, Ra'anana estate agent Michael Rehavi grabbed an umbrella from the corner of his office when he heard the screams of a knife-attack victim in the street outside.
Wielding the umbrella as a baton, Mr Rehavi repeatedly beat the terrorist until he was no longer a threat.
On the same day in Jerusalem a bystander witnessing the Malkhei Yisrael Street attack reportedly used a selfie stick to take on the attacker.
