A pregnant woman injured in a Tel Aviv terror attack yesterday has lost her baby.
The woman was one of seven people injured after a Palestinian terrorist carried out a car-ramming and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv yesterday afternoon.
The combined car-ramming and stabbing took place on Pinchas Rosen Street.
The Israeli Police said they received a report about "a car that attacked a number of civilians" in north Tel Aviv.
A spokesman added: "It appears that the suspect was driving a vehicle traveling from south to north, rammed into pedestrians standing in the shopping centre and proceeded to get out of the vehicle to stab civilians with a sharp object."
Speaking at the scene of the attack, police chief Yaakov Shabtai said the "terrorist" was a resident of the West Bank and was shot dead by an armed passerby.
A local medical official said the incident appeared to have included at least one stabbing victim.
Paramedics from Magen David Adom, Israel's national ambulance service, have arrived at the scene and are treating the injured.
One MDA Paramedic added: "It was a very serious scene. A 46-year-old woman was lying on the sidewalk while she was conscious and suffering from multi-system damage.
"Four other injured people in their 30s were moderately and lightly injured and were taken to the hospital in an MDA intensive care ambulance."
According to Israeli media, another two individuals were injured in the attack.
The incident took place on the second day of the biggest Israeli military operation in years in the militant stronghold of Jenin, in the northern West Bank.
Hamas, the militant movement, issued a statement praising the "heroic" attack in Tel Aviv, calling it "an initial response to (Israel's) crimes against our people in the Jenin camp."
Khaled Al-Batsh, a senior official from the Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad movement praised the attack as "an initial and natural response of the resistance towards what is happening in Jenin" although he stopped short of claiming responsibility.
