| Dear friend, A shocking terror attack just took place in Tel Aviv moments ago, right outside the Zaka Tel Aviv headquarters, leaving three men in their 20s injured, one in a critical condition.
Eyewitnesses at the scene report that chaos erupted as gunshots rang out in the busy commercial area. The injured were quickly evacuated to Ichilov Hospital in the city, where they are receiving medical treatment. Zaka Tel Aviv volunteers were the first ones to arrive at the scene and hospitalize the wounded. The situation remains tense, as one terrorist is still on the loose, and a massive manhunt is currently underway. Israeli security forces are conducting house-to-house searches in the surrounding areas and have asked all residents to remain in their homes until the situation is brought under control. The identity of the terrorist has been reported as Mo'taz Khawaja, a 23-year-old Hamas operative who had been in Israeli prison twice for holding illegal weapons, according to Palestinian media reports. Hamas spokesman Abd al-Latif al-Kanua described the attack as an initial response to the "crimes of the occupation." As the investigation continues, ZAKA Tel Aviv volunteers remain on high alert at the scene of the attack. We will keep you updated on the further development.
We at Zaka Tel Aviv need your support in this critical situation. Our vital emergency response services are fully reliant on your support. |
