Greek national among victims of shooting and knife attack in Tel Aviv

A Greek national is among the victims of a shooting and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, according to the Greek Foreign Ministry. The victim was described as a resident of Jerusalem.

A total of seven people were killed, and several others sustained injuries - some seriously - when a gunman opened fire on members of the public in the Jaffa area.

The deadly assault, which occurred shortly before an Iranian missile attack against Israel, began in a rail carriage and continued on the platform, local police reported in a statement.

In a statement Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry condemned the "terrorist attack" and expressed "heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the victim."
