Israeli Occupation National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, speaking from the scene of a stabbing attack in Holon, Tel Aviv, has called on "Israelis" to arm themselves. 

He highlighted that the government has already distributed thousands of weapons to settlers. "Our war is not just against Iran, but also here," Ben-Gvir stated, referencing ongoing conflicts with Palestinians.

Earlier Sunday , Israeli Occupation media reported that a young man was shot and killed by security forces after allegedly carrying out the stabbing in Holon. The attack resulted in the death of a 70-year-old woman and left another 80-year-old man critically injured, along with two others who sustained serious and moderate injuries.

The Israeli Occupation emergency service, Magen David Adom, confirmed the casualties, raising the total to two dead and four injured. The news outlet Walla reported that the second fatality succumbed to injuries sustained in the attack.

Large police forces, including helicopters and other units, have been deployed to the scene, conducting extensive searches amid concerns of additional attackers being involved.
