Tel Aviv (TPS) – After four days of fruitless efforts to locate and capture the terrorist who killed three men and injured seven in a Tel Aviv shooting attack on New Year’s Day, Israel’s police commissioner attempted to calm down residents who have since been experiencing tensions throughout the city.

“We can update that as of this morning, tensions in the Tel Aviv area can be significantly reduced,” said Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh on Tuesday, January 5, during a condolence visit at a victim’s house. Alsheikh said he would not elaborate any further so as to not harm the ongoing investigation.
