TEL AVIV — A Palestinian man rammed a car into a crowd of people at a bus stop in northern Tel Aviv on Tuesday, injuring six as Israel’s largest military operation in the occupied West Bank in two decades entered into its second day.The Palestinian man, believed to have been acting alone, hit passersby with his car before exiting and stabbing two people, according to a statement by Israeli police. He was then shot dead by an armed civilian in the area.
Eitan Dangot, a former Israeli military coordinator for Palestinian civilian affairs in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, said that the military operation that began Monday aimed “to encircle the Jenin refugee camp as the capital of terrorism” and was only a partial solution that would not sufficiently deter future attacks.
“I don’t see Israel running to take responsibility for the West Bank’s 3 million citizens … including a new generation of militants” who have been abandoned by the Palestinian Authority for nearly two decades, said Dangot, speaking as news broke of the car ramming in Tel Aviv. The Israeli army said that, overnight, it dismantled an “underground shaft that was used to store explosive devices in the heart of the Jenin Camp.” The statement added that soldiers destroyed “two operational situation rooms belonging to terrorist organizations in the area … a grenade launcher in the area of Jenin, and confiscated weapons and military equipment.”
