00:00It's near this park in the city of Holon, just outside Tel Aviv, that the deadly knife
00:05attack took place on Sunday morning, killing and wounding several people.
00:10According to police, the suspect was a Palestinian from the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He was
00:16shot dead by an officer.
00:18Speaking from the scene of the incident, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gavir
00:22called on Israelis to carry weapons.
00:26Our war is not only against Iran, but also here in the streets. That's exactly why we
00:31armed the people of Israel with more than 150,000 weapons licenses in the past few months.
00:37I want to tell the citizens, carry weapons, it saves lives.
00:42Police urged the public to remain vigilant.
00:46All of Tel Aviv is on high alert with emergency response teams. Dozens of emergency response
00:51units have been deployed as backups to secure the public within Tel Aviv.
00:56Hamas did not claim responsibility for the stabbing, but the Palestinian Militant Group
01:00described it as a quote, natural response to Israeli attacks on Palestinians and the
01:04recent assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail.
