In Jaffa, a palestinian went on a stabbing spree, killing an American tourist and wounding 10 others. And in a bit of irony. US Vice President Joe Biden was in the area at the time of the attack – visiting the Peres Center for Peace.
Earlier on, a terrorist opened fire with a Carl Gustav rifle at police officers operating on Salah e-Din Street near Herod’s Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City. After wounding a few, the officers returned fire and killed the terrorist.
This follows an attack in Petah Tikva, where a terrorist stabbed a 29-year old ultra-Orthodox man – who was collecting money for charity. After being stabbed multiple times in the upper body by the palestinian, the victim pulled the knife out of his own neck, and stabbed his attacker, killing the terrorist.
Here is video of the victim. Notice the guy helping him – this is Israel.

and Aluminum Rod Man.
Yosef, an eyewitness, said that he tried to strike the terrorist with an aluminium rod. “The terrorist, who was young and wearing a hoodie, came from the Jaffa Port area,” Yosef said. “Once he was on the boardwalk, he attacked a tourist couple. The woman was stabbed several times, tried to flee, and fell. The terrorist then continued to stab the man, and stabbed him in the leg. I was in my car. I ran to him, took the aluminum rod, and hit the terrorist in the back. He tried to stab me, then he ran.”
