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.”
