An Israeli man was stabbed and critically wounded near a Tel Aviv train station on Monday (November 10) in a suspected Palestinian attack, police said.
A spokesman for the Magen David Adom ambulance service said the man, aged about 20, was rushed to hospital.
Police said they arrested a suspect, a Palestinian from the town ofNablus in the occupied West Bank, and that the assault was apparently politically motivated.
The attack came five days after a Palestinian rammed his car into pedestrians in central Jerusalem, in the second such incident of its kind in two weeks, killing two Israelis and fuelling concerns of another Palestinian uprising. Police shot the driver dead.
Tensions have been high in Jerusalem over access to a compound housing Islam’s third-holiest site, where biblical Jewish temples once stood.
Stone-throwing protests have also erupted in several Arab towns inIsrael since Saturday (November 8), when police shot and killed an Arab youth whom they said had attacked policemen in the north of the country.
