Yesterday, at the entrance to the Savidor Central train station in the heart of Tel Aviv, municipal police officers and patrols from the Lev Tel Aviv station arrested a Gaza resident in possession of a 30-centimeter-long butcher knife.
The suspect, a 35-year-old man from Jabaliya, who has a work permit in Israel, was apprehended after allegedly hiding the knife in his possession while trying to enter the Savidor train in Tel Aviv.
