| The attacker is on the left [Times of Israel video grab] |
At this point, we know of a total of four people injured when a Palestinian Arab male, about 18 years old and according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua employed somewhere nearby, attacked them with wire-cutters. You can see the first stages of the assault in the photo at right.
He launched his assault in the hotel lobby on Hayarkon Street in Tel Aviv's tourist precinct, according to Ynet which has security camera footage of the initial stages of the attack on its site at this hour. The photo above comes from different security cam footage on the Times of Israel site. From our viewing, it appears to be inside the Leonardo Beach Hotel (other reports quote other hotels).
With three victims down, he then fled outside and into the street where he stabbed another person before being stopped and arrested by police.
Israel National News says those hurt are a man in his 70s, two men in their fifties and a woman in her fifties. All are lightly injured and all were treated at the scene before being taken to Ichilov Hospital by Magen David Adom ambulance.
The attacker, a resident of Nablus, is evidently unhurt but likely to be offended by what Israel's justice system has in mind for him.

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.
