The terrorist who carried out the terror attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday night in which several people were wounded was thwarted by an IDF officer who was previously wounded in combat in the Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported on Wednesday.
"I fought in Gaza about a year ago, was wounded, and lost my right hand," Captain A. was cited as saying.
According to him, the moment he noticed the attack, he "tried to stop the terrorist, and we chased after him."
He noted that he was suffering from a light wound to his hand and was being treated at the Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv but was expecting to return to his military course tomorrow.
