At least four eight nine wounded in car ramming, shooting in Tel Aviv
[Jpost] At least nine Israelis were wounded in a combined car-ramming and stabbing on Pinchas Rosen Street in Tel Aviv on Tuesday afternoon.

Footage shared on social media showed the assailant dead at the scene. After running people over, the terrorist got out of the vehicle and reportedly managed to stab one of the victims in the neck. A civilian at the scene shot the terrorist.

MDA paramedics arrived quickly on the scene to treat the wounded, who were subsequently taken to Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva and Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

HAMAS: TERROR ATTACK IS A RESPONSE TO JENIN OPERATION
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem praised the attack, saying that "The heroic attack in Tel Aviv is the first response to the occupation's crimes against our people in Jenin." This is in reference to the IDF's ongoing large-scale military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin.

"The occupation will pay the price for its crimes against Jenin. We praise the heroes of our people and the fighters in Jenin."

Israel Police Tel Aviv District Commander Ami Eshed stated that the terrorist was a Palestinian resident of the Hebron region in the West Bank and acted alone, according to an initial police assessment. The terrorist, in his 20s, reportedly got into Israel with a medical permit. The Shin Bet later stated that the attacker has no such permit.

ISRAEL POLICE COMMISSIONER SHABTAI RESPONDS
Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai arrived at the scene and stated that several more arrests connected to the terrorist have been made. "Circumstances are being examined regarding his background and motive, and I would like to praise the activity of the citizen with a lot of courage, that he was able to thwart the attack and prevent the continuation of that terrorist's killing spree."

Hamas says Tel Aviv terrorist a member, doesn’t claim responsibility for attack

[IsraelTimes] Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", claims the Tel Aviv attacker, 20-year old Abed al-Wahab Khalaila, as a member of the terror group, but stops short of claiming responsibility for terror attack.

Hamas also vows in its statement to "continue, escalate and diversify" its Dire Revenge attacks.

Paleostinians have shared photos online that purport to show the attacker.

Ben Gvir says Tel Aviv attack response justifies his push for more guns for civilians

[IsraelTimes] National security minister says terror incident ’proves importance’ of public firearms; opposition leaders condemn attack, join praise for armed passerby who shot the terrorist

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Tuesday that a terror attack in Tel Aviv vindicated his push to have more Israelis carry guns, after an armed civilian shot and killed the attacker, who injured seven people in a stabbing and ramming spree.

"I congratulate the brave citizen who neutralized the terrorist, cutting the attack short and saving lives," Ben Gvir said on Twitter.

"This again proved the importance and effectiveness of citizens carrying guns," Ben Gvir said. "I call on the public who meet the criteria: carry guns."

Gun control in Israel has traditionally been relatively strict, with licenses generally only granted to those who can show a need for extra security in their line of work or daily life. Citizens in nearly all cases can own a single gun and only 50 bullets at a given time.

Under current guidelines, military service entitles an applicant to a gun license only if they served in combat infantry units.

However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
in recent months Ben Gvir has proposed dramatically expanding the criteria to include any veteran of combat service, including those who served in armored and artillery units and the Border Police, along with Hesder yeshiva students — who do a shortened military stint and also spend time studying in yeshiva — and Magen David Adom ambulance service volunteers.

Some 22,000 Israelis have applied for gun licenses in recent months, Channel 12 news reported on Tuesday night, and some 18,000 of the applications have been granted.

As national security minister, Ben Gvir oversees the police force, and the Border Police.
