Shortly before nine o’clock at night, the shots reappeared this Thursday in the central Dizengoff avenue in Tel Aviv. One year after the Palestinian attack that caused the death of three young people, the center of the Israeli city has once again been the scene of another armed attack, leaving three injured (one in critical condition, another seriously and one slightly).
The Palestinian attacker shot and wounded three young men before being shot dead by an off-duty officer, preventing him from fleeing and continuing to fire in a city that was hosting a large demonstration against the government’s proposed judicial reform at the time. .
The Palestinian, whose image shooting with a pistol was caught on camera, pointed at a well-known restaurant located on the corner of Dizengof and Ben Gurion streets. The first information indicates that he came from the Ramallah area (the West Bank) and that he acted alone.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received the news at the synagogue in Rome at the start of his visit to Italy. “This is a serious terrorist attack. We support the action of the security forces against terrorists everywhere,” declared Netanyahu, who left a country at noon in continuous protests over the judicial reform plan and under a growing escalation with the Palestinians.
The Islamist group Hamas has praised what it called a “heroic action” as part of the response to the killing of three Islamic Jihad militants early Thursday in an operation by Israeli agents near Jenin. “The youth and the heroes of the resistance in the West Bank will continue their heroic actions in the face of the crimes of the Zionist occupation,” Hamas spokesman Abdel Latif Al-Qanou said.
