4 wounded in stabbing attack in Tel Aviv
Four people were wounded in a stabbing attack in central Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening, according to Israeli police, who said the attacker was killed by security forces at the scene.
Two people were in moderate condition and two had light wounds, according to Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency rescue service. Ichilov Hospital said one person was in moderate-severe condition with a stab wound to the neck.
Authorities only identified the attacker as a 28-year-old “foreign national” but believe the stabbings were a terrorist act. The attack took place in a bustling area filled with restaurants and cafes.
Another stabbing attack in Tel Aviv over the weekend left one person seriously wounded, and the attacker was also shot and wounded, police said at the time.
Palestinians have carried out scores of shooting, stabbing and car-ramming attacks against Israelis across Israel and the occupied West Bank, especially during the past 15 months of the Israel-Hamas war. There has also been a sharp rise in attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers.
