Iran Press/ Middle East: One of the wounded is in critical condition and another in serious condition ■ Another person was moderately wounded, and a fourth was lightly wounded
Israeli police said they launched a massive search for the assailants, setting up roadblocks and dispatching a helicopter.
The attack, coming on the Zionist regime's Independence Day, was the latest in a string of deadly attacks in the occupied territories in recent weeks.
No person or group has claimed responsibility for the incident so far.
The Zionist regime began escalating its recurrently-deadly attacks against Palestinians in the run-up to the Holy month of Ramadan and sustained the violence throughout the fasting month, stirring up anti-Tel Aviv sentiments throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas applauds the attack in Elad.
“The attack in Elad is a response to our people’s rage over the occupation’s attack on our holy sites,” Hamas says.
“The storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque can’t go unpunished," Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said. “The heroic operation in Tel Aviv is a practical translation of what the resistance had warned against.”
