Three people were seriously, severely and moderately injured in the attack.
Al-Khwaja tried to escape at the scene, but was shot by a fighter and a volunteer on vacation.
A security official said that according to estimates, the terrorist arrived in Tel Aviv independently.
However, the security forces are scanning the area to rule out the possibility that he received aid.
One of the neutralizers of the terrorist is a Magellan fighter who lives in the area.
He heard the shooting, took the weapon and went down to the street.
The fighter heard shouts that there was a terrorist in the area, and advanced to an alley that was lined with other armed men dressed in civilian clothes.
At this point the terrorist was detained, he tried to escape - and was shot dead.
