Tel Aviv mayor pumped iron during attack

When the Tel Aviv terror attack took place this morning around 7:30 a.m., Mayor Ron Huldai was at the gym. After hearing the news, he evidently continued his workout and didn’t head to the scene of the crime, Channel 2 reports.

“Certainly the presence of the police was enough, it does what it needs to do… I don’t think my presence could have helped there. Until I’d have arrived the incident would have been over,” he said in an interview with Army Radio a couple of hours after the attack.
