TEL AVIV – An assailant armed with a knife and an ax stabbed a security guard at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv as the city remained on heightened alert over the Gaza conflict.
One eyewitness told reporters the man emerged from a red Mazda car and ran toward the embassy guards at the periphery of the seaside structure.
According to an initial report, security guards fired a warning shot at the suspect, described as a 41-year-old Israeli man, but did not harm him.
Several guards wrestled the man to the ground while embassy backup security arrived at the scene.
