(JNS) On Tuesday, Jan. 21, 29-year-old Kaddi Abdelaziz launched an attack in Tel Aviv injuring six people. Sourasky Medical Center’s Ichilov Hospital announced Wednesday that two additional victims had been admitted with minor injuries. According to the hospital, three of the victims have been discharged.

Abdelaziz stabbed five individuals, leaving one in serious condition, another moderately injured and the remaining three with light injuries, according to Ynet. One of the victims was an IDF officer who had lost his right arm fighting Hamas in the Gaza Strip. An American tourist was also attacked after Abdelaziz stabbed four Israelis.

Abdelaziz was neutralized by two soldiers from the IDF’s elite Shaldag unit, who were nearby and heard the cries for help. “We came down from the house and saw him assaulting a civilian. We shouted for him to stop and fired four shots when he refused,” one of the soldiers told Ynet. The gunfire sparked panic, causing bystanders to hide in nearby restaurants and take cover under tables.

Abdelaziz, a Moroccan national with permanent U.S. residency, entered Israel three days before the attack. At Ben Gurion Airport, border inspectors flagged him as suspicious and referred him for questioning.

“The subject underwent a comprehensive security assessment, including questioning and other checks. It was concluded there was no justification to deny entry. The case will be thoroughly reviewed,” the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) stated.
