The investigation into a Tel Aviv stabbing attack last month has concluded, and the police filed a Prosecutor's statement against the individual suspected of transporting the terrorist. The attack left a 28-year-old man severely injured. The terrorist, a resident of Tulkarm who was in pre-1967 Israel illegally, was eliminated by an armed passerby. The investigation revealed that the suspect, a resident of one of Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods and in his 20s, earned a living by transporting illegal Arabs. On the day of the terror attack, the suspect picked up the terrorist, a resident of Tulkarm, from the Atarot area near Jerusalem, and transported him in a white commercial Citroën vehicle to Tel Aviv, knowing that the terrorist was an illegal Arab who may carry out a terror attack.
