Please say tehillim for Aaron Moshe Chaim ben Chana
A 25-year-old man was seriously injured after being stabbed in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba on Thursday, shortly after a Palestinian man injured four while on a stabbing rampage in Tel Aviv.
The Kiryat Arba assailant is still at large, and is believed to have fled in the direction of Hebron. Security forces are currently in pursuit.
The Tel Aviv assailant was shot dead by an Israel Air Force officer after attacking passers-by with a screwdriver opposite the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv. All four victims were lightly wounded.

The mother of the soldier who was stabbed in the Tel Aviv attack said, “I saw the terrorist running up to my daughter and stabbing her. I started screaming and crying and I understood that this was a terrorist attack.”
“She sat on her gun so he couldn’t steal it, and the other soldier ran after the terrorist. I’m in shock. I just spoke to her and she is traumatized,” said her mother.
Police cordoned off Begin junction, one of the busiest junctions in the city, fearing a second terrorist might be on the loose.
Hours earlier, a Yeshivah student was seriously wounded after being stabbed in the chest in the French Hill neighborhood of Jerusalem on Thursday.
The attacker, a 19-year-old resident of East Jerusalem, then tried to snatch the weapon of a security guard on the nearby light rail.
The Shin Bet named the terrorist as Subhi Abu Khalifa, 19, a resident of the Shuafat Refugee Camp district. Abu Khalifa has no history of security arrests or offense. The Shin Bet has begun questioning him.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the man was attacked shortly after 12 p.m. while walking in the area. His assailant was apprehended by police moments later while he tried to hijack a passing car.
The victim, a 25-year-old Yeshiva student, was treated by paramedics and transported to the capital’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
It is the second stabbing attack in the city in the space of 24 hours.
Magen David Adom spokesman Zaki Heller told Ynet that “the victim was stabbed in the neck. It happened near the site of the vehicular attack near the light rail several months ago. Other shock victims were treated at the site.”
The attack came hours after Mayor Nir Barkat urged residents licensed to carry weapons to carry them, as violence spiked in the city over the past few weeks.
The stabbing is the fourth of its kind in the capital since October first and has resulted in heightened police security throughout flashpoint Arab neighborhoods and the Old City.
that technically is a smart idea but giving people who need protection guns will also be giving arabs and muslim extremists the right to bear arms and therefore making it a lot easier for them to execute more terror attacks. the fact is that many extremists are israeli citizens and they get the same rights and then they wont have to take kitchen knives to kill israelis theyll be able to take guns that they are allowed to carry.
while Moshiach is a must,in the meantime there mus be a way for citizens to arm themselves and practice will make for more responsible gun users.The citizens have a right to defend themselves and the terrorists need to be eliminated as soon as they attempt these attacks. It’s time we ALL were allowed to carry weapons, not just those who are in security or who live in the “settlements.” I’m talking about ordinary, responsible citizens and I will be on line the first day they change the law. We are living among madmen – AND WOMEN – and need to… Read more »
This is crazy, because all of this killing and violence is happening, and Netanyahu is not trying his best to stop it. I know that the job of a prime minister is very stressful, hard, and a huge responsibility to secure the country and make sure everything is running smoothly, etc. (especially in a country that’s surrounded by enemies who want to kill you and the world in general that’s hostile towards you) , BUT I think something else should be done. I watched a very recent live video in Yerushalayim, that shows a scene of horrible chaos where terrorists… Read more »

They should restrict the sale of screwdrivers and require current owners to register all of their screwdrivers in a national registry. That is sure to keep these dangerous weapons out of the hands of the bad guys.
Dovid
Oysh!!!!enough! !!!ad masi?please Hashem send moshiach now!
America should help Israel kick Arabs out of our country’s borders, once and for all l
the crazy wave of terror started just after bibi netanyahu came last week to united nation and he announced about his commitment to the vision of Palestinian state!!! just like the rebbe said that only to talk about giving them autonomy it brings Intifada !!! the rebbe also said: רק עצם הדיבור בנוגע לתוכנית האוטונומיה הוא חילול השם וחילול הקודש. זה שיש בארץ-ישראל יהודים שאינם שומרי תורה ומצוות הרי זה בנוגע להם בפרטיות, אבל כאן המדובר שממשלת ישראל תכריז מלחמה גלויה נגד ה’ ותורתו. “באם ימשיכו בכיוון זה אודות דיבורים כאלה אזי אני מנחם מענדל יהיה הראשון שילחם בכל התוקף… Read more »

We need Moshiach now
I hope this stops, we should throw all the arabs out of Isreal
The problem with that is that you’ll have people carrying weapons who don’t know how to use them properly, and will cause more harm than good.
TZnius and mivtzoiim is the way
It’s time we ALL were allowed to carry weapons, not just those who are in security or who live in the “settlements.” I’m talking about ordinary, responsible citizens and I will be on line the first day they change the law. We are living among madmen – and women – and need to be protected.
Shocking!!! Moshiach must come now! There is no other ways of dealing with this!
