Terrorist Attacks in Israel Coincide with Biden Visit
< < Go Back
An Israeli man was stabbed by a Palestinian man Tuesday afternoon in Petah Tikva, close to Tel Aviv. The victim managed to free the knife from his own neck before turning the deadly weapon against it’s owner, stabbing and killing the attacker.
… the incident was just one of three separate terror attacks that took place across Israel Tuesday. The attacks happened within the space of just over an hour and a half, and just so happened to coincide with Vice President Joe Biden’s visit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
A second series of stabbings occurred in the port city of Jaffa, where a 22-year-old from the Palestinian village of Kalandiya killed an American tourist and injured ten more.
Biden was visiting former Israeli president Shimon Peres at the Peres Center for Peace at the time of the attacks, less than a mile away from the carnage.
In Jerusalem, a gunman opened fire on Israeli Police, seriously injuring two before being gunned down himself while attempting to flee to Tel Aviv.
Palestinian terror group Hamas has said the attacks proved that the current wave of Palestinian violence has not desisted, and that attempts to thwart it have not succeeded.
