A resident of Lod who was stabbed last week charged Thursday morning that the attacker was a terrorist and not a criminal, as police have claimed. Original reports of the attack stated that the man, who was named only as "Ronen," was the victim of an attempted robbery.
He told Voice of Israel government radio that he woke up as the attacker stabbed him in his neck and then struggled with him until the attacker fled. Ronen chased after until he was forced to treat his wounds.
