State of alert lifted in Tel Aviv

The state of alert declared in Tel Aviv earlier over fears of a suicide bomber loose in the city has been lifted, though it is unclear whether police have concluded that the call, which led to the concerns, was a hoax.

In the call to the police, a man with an Arabic accent said he was in Tel Aviv and had intended to carry out an attack, but had changed his mind. He then hung up.
