One person was seriously wounded in a stabbing attack in central Tel Aviv on Saturday afternoon, Israel police said.
A passerby shot the attacker and he was in critical condition, according to Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency rescue services.
Police did not identify the attacker but believe the stabbing was a terrorist act. 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.
srael has launched near-nightly military raids across the territory that frequently trigger gunbattles with militants.
There has also been a sharp rise in attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers, leading the United States to impose sanctions.
The attack comes after Houthi rebels launched two missiles towards Israel on Saturday.
