At dawn on Saturday, the Israeli police confirmed the identity of the perpetrator of the run-over attack in Tel Aviv , which killed an Italian tourist and injured 7 others.

According to the Israeli police, the perpetrator is Youssef Abu Jaber (45 years old), a father of five daughters, from Kafr Qassem , in the occupied territories.

Based on information from the Shin Bet, which raided the family's house, she indicated that he had no security file previously.

His family denied that he was the perpetrator of the operation and asked to see his body, until they confirmed his identity.

There was conflicting information at the beginning of the event about his identity, and it was believed that he was a Palestinian from the West Bank who used Abu Jaber's vehicle.

The attack came hours after price tag gangs burned vehicles and wrote racist slogans in Kafr Qassem.
