Tel Aviv's Ichilov Medical Center reported that three victims of Tuesday night's terrorist stabbing attack were brought to its emergency room. One of them is in moderate to serious condition with a stab wound in his neck.

The attacker was a Moroccan citizen with American permanent residency and had entered Israel on a tourist visa on January 18.
