July 2023 Tel Aviv attack

Background

On 4 July 2023, a 20-year-old Palestinian man from As-Samu in the West Bank injured nine people in Tel Aviv, Israel. He deliberately drove a pickup truck into pedestrians on Pinchas Rosen Street in the north of the city. He then got out of the vehicle and stabbed one of them in the neck. A motorcyclist shot the attacker dead. Out of the injured, a seriously injured pregnant woman lost her unborn child.
