Eight people were injured, five seriously in a terrorist ramming and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv Tuesday afternoon. As of this writing, two women remain sedated and in serious condition.
The terrorist has been identified as a 23-year-old resident of the Mount Hebron region. Armed civilians and a police officer who saw what was happening intervened and shot and killed the driver.
The attack comes one day after a teenage terrorist stabbed a Jewish man in Bnei Brak, and as Israeli security forces are engaged in a large-scale military operation in Jenin.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said in response to the attack: “Our enemies want to harm us in Tel Aviv, in Eli, and everywhere in the Land of Israel, and against them we need to show unity and determination in Tel Aviv, in Eli, and everywhere in the Land of Israel.
