On 4 July 2023, a Palestinian resident of the West Bank carried out a vehicle-ramming and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv, Israel. Hamas later claimed that the individual was a member and the attack in response to the July 2023 Jenin incursion.[1][2][3]
Background
During 2023, Israel carried out incursions into Jenin, West Bank, in January, June and July.[1]
Attack
On 4 July 2023, a 20-year-old Palestinian man from As-Samu in the West Bank injured nine people in Tel Aviv, Israel.[1] He deliberately drove a pickup truck into pedestrians on Pinchas Rosen Street in the north of the city.[1] He then got out of the vehicle and stabbed one of them in the neck.[1] A motorcyclist shot the attacker dead.[1] Out of the injured, a seriously injured pregnant woman lost her unborn child.[4]
Reaction
Hamas said he was a member of their Islamist Palestinian nationalist militant group.[1] They praised the attack as heroic, saying it was revenge for the July 2023 Jenin incursion, which began the previous day.[1]
