One Israeli was killed and two were wounded Monday night in a terrorist stabbing on the Tel Aviv seafront. The eastern Jerusalem resident who carried out the attack was shot in the leg by a passerby and arrested. A cell that said it was part of the Al-Aksa Brigade, the militia of Yasser Arafat’s mainstream Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the stabbing, but Al-Aksa later denied the claim.
