A Palestinian terrorist stabbed a man at the intersection of Levontin and Mikveh Yisrael streets in Tel Aviv on Saturday afternoon, a police spokesman said.

The 27-year-old victim was taken to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital) with a wound to the head area. His condition was variously described as moderate and serious.

A passerby shot and killed the attacker, reportedly Salah Yahya, 19, from Tulkarem in Samaria, who was within the Green Line illegally.

Magen David Adom emergency medical service paramedic Itay Atias was quoted by Ynet saying, “We arrived quickly to the scene in large numbers and observed a man in his late 20s lying on the road fully conscious with a stabbing wound to his upper body. We immediately provided him with lifesaving treatment [as] he communicated and talked to us; we carried him into an ambulance and evacuated him [to the hospital] for further treatment in moderate condition.”

With Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez suspending her campaign, state Rep. Francesca Hong, a Democratic Socialists of America member with a record of anti-Israel activism, and former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes have emerged as the Democratic Party’s leading candidates ahead of the Aug. 11 primary.
Rep. Jake Auchincloss accused President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu of breaking the compact underlying U.S. military assistance to Israel by launching the war against Iran.
“I want to maintain the dialogue and the conversation, because I think they need to work harder to try to figure out how to get more friends instead of creating more enemies,” the Washington Democrat said.
“The rules that they’ve been using to build these data centers were not intended for these kinds of data centers,” David Greenfield, of Met Council, told JNS. “Now they’re happening very frequently, and they’re having unintended consequences.”
She helped turn JINSA into the “very significant face of the American Jewish community to the US military,” the JNS publisher said.
