Israeli authorities accuse Ahmad Rafiq Al-Haimouni, 25, of carrying out a shooting and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv alongside Mohammed Misk, 19, who died during the incident.

They stationed themselves in Abu Kteileh neighborhood, where they entered Al-Haimouni’s apartment, located in a multi-story building, before blowing it up. According to the Wafa news agency, they fired sound bombs and tear gas at residents, preventing them from approaching the house.
