Channel 2 coverage is ongoing as we write |
But initial reports, quoted by Ynet at about 6:30 pm this evening (Tuesday) say there has been yet another Arab-on-Israeli attack, the third in the past two hours: "Five people were wounded in attacks at three different nearby locations in Jaffa early Tuesday evening; the terrorist was neutralized.
Two were seriously wounded in an attack at the Jaffa boardwalk, one was seriously wounded in an attack on Nahum Goldmann Street and two were seriously wounded in an attack at the Clocktower Circle in the Old City of Jaffa."
We are watching Israel's Channel 2 TV news as we write this: they are speaking of multiple Israeli victims in the area of Jaffa's Clock Tower. As of this hour, 6:45 pm, there is an ongoing pursuit. Conflicting reports as to whether the stabber has been stopped.
UPDATE 6:55 pm - The fate of the attacker is not clear even now. None of the reporters are prepared to say whether the terror attack is still ongoing.
UPDATE 6:58 pm: Via Channel 2: The attacker has been shot near one of the beachside restaurants along the Jaffa promenade, and the attack is counted as over. But there are ongoing concerns about possible helpers, and police searches are continuing. One of of the stabbing victims is now unfortunately reported to have died of his or her injuries in Wolfson Hospital, Holon. Another is in very grave condition, and nine additional injured victims as a result of the attack.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
