Tel Aviv mayor says Jaffa residents condemn stabbing

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai says that the stabber in tonight’s spree across Jaffa was not a resident of the mixed Arab-Jewish city.

“We know that the residents of Jaffa condemn this event,” Huldai says, speaking near the Manta Ray restaurant where the stabber was shot and killed by police.

It is the right thing to continue our routines as normal, we cannot stay locked up at our homes.”

He adds that Purim events in Tel Aviv and Jaffa will take place as scheduled, despite the stabbing spree.

Nine people were injured in the stabbing spree, and one person, an American tourist, was killed.
