A 23-year-old Palestinian terrorist stabbed at least ten people on the 40 bus line in Tel Aviv near the Maariv Bridge junction on Wednesday morning.

The attack took place on Menachem Begin Road, a major thoroughfare in Tel Aviv.
Two of the victims were seriously injured and several others suffered moderate injuries, Magen David Adom said. Others at the scene were treated for shock.

The attacker managed to escape the scene but was later shot in the leg and caught by a member of the security forces.

Izzat al-Risheq, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, described the attack as a “heroic act.”

“The attack carried out this morning is a bold, heroic act and a natural response to the crimes of the occupation and terrorism against the Palestinian people.”
