The Arab terrorist who conducted the stabbing attack in Tel Aviv on Thursday has been identified as 19-year-old Ta'ar Abu Gazalah.
Gazalah is a resident of Kafr Aqb located north of Jerusalem, between it and Ramallah.
He held a blue teudat zehut identity card, meaning that he had permanent resident status in Israel. Gazalah had no history of terrorist involvement.
The terrorist stabbed and lightly wounded five Israelis in central Tel Aviv and tried to steal a gun from a soldier before being shot to death.
