Don’t know if attacker had support – Aharonovitch

Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch speaks from Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, where he met with doctors and visited victims of the attack.

He says it is “very, very hard to stop attacks like this.”

He also says it is unclear at this point where there was “infrastructure” supporting the terrorist, and whether he was a member of any organization.

Aharonovitch adds that police had been on heightened alert since the start of the election season, as there can be increased motivation for attacks.

He says he visited a policeman lightly hurt in the chest during the attack.
