Israeli police have confirmed that the perpetrator of the attack is an Israeli Arab from Kfar Kassem, northeast of Tel Aviv. The name of the terrorist – according to the media – is Yousef Abu Jaber, 45 years old. The Israeli media had reported the possible theft of Abu Jaber’s car – a Kia – by unknown persons, explaining that therefore he could not have been the author of the attack. Hypothesis later denied

The 35-year-old lawyer Alessandro Parini lost his life, arriving in Tel Aviv on Friday with some friends for a holiday

Many authorities who expressed their condolences, including Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who expressed “closeness to the victim’s family, to the injured, and solidarity with the State of Israel for the cowardly attack that hit him”

The attack immediately rekindled the already high tension in recent days and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called other reservists after those of the air force. Hamas and Islamic Jihad did not fail to express their satisfaction with the attack, which they described as a “high-level operation”. After strikes in Gaza and Lebanon, the recall of reservists and the strengthening of troops in the territories is a clear message to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran

Tension was already skyrocketing after the Palestinian attack that took place yesterday in the West Bank, with the killing of two young sisters (21 and 16 years old) and the serious wounding of their mother (48 years old). Even in Jerusalem, on the Esplanade of the Mosques, the situation seems to hang by a thread, even though there are currently no serious incidents, with the police continuing to patrol the place

After the rain of rockets launched from Gaza (one of the 44 fell on a house without causing casualties) and from Palestinian factions linked to Hamas from the south of the Country of the Cedars, Israel responded in the night between Thursday and Friday by hitting three sites in Lebanon and over ten in the Strip, including two tunnels and various Armed Faction emplacements
