The assailant who carried out the attack in Tel Aviv is named by Hebrew-language media as Hussein Khalaila, 23, from the southern West Bank town of as-Samu, near Hebron.

The reports say he entered Israel with a permit for medical treatment as he was suffering from a terminal illness.

Security officials tell The Times of Israel that the terrorist’s identity is still under review.
