Four Zionists, including a soldier who had been earlier wounded in Gaza battles, were injured in a stabbing attack Tuesday evening in Tel Aviv's Nahalat Binyamin area.
Israel's public broadcaster Kan reported that a settler “neutralized” the attacker using a personal firearm.
Police spokesperson Aryeh Doron urged settlers to avoid the area as authorities searched for possible accomplices.
Citing initial reports, Channel 13 said that the injuries ranged from moderate to minor.Tel Aviv stab attack#جنين pic.twitter.com/5P0HI7QHN3

The attacker has been identified as an American citizen of Moroccan descent who had entered the Zionist entity as a tourist several days ago.
The Israeli Army Radio reported the attack occurred at two locations in Tel Aviv.
According to Channel 1, the stabbings took place on Nahalat Binyamin and Kalisher streets.
Hamas Movement hailed, in a statement, the stabbing operation in Tel Aviv carried out by the Moroccan martyr hero, stressing that it proves once again that the tide of resistance continues and increases as long as the occupation and its crimes and aggression continue.
'This operation comes as a natural response hours after dozens of martyrs and wounded were killed during the occupation's aggression on Jenin, in an eloquent message that blood for blood and that the hand of the resistance will strike with all its might deep into the usurping entity.' Islamic Jihad MOvement hailed the operation, underscoring that, since it is carried out by a Moroccan citizen, it affirms the Arab solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
