The Magen David Adom emergency service said in a statement that the “terrorist attack” took place in several locations in the Tel Aviv suburb of Holon.
Shamir Medical Center said the attacker was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to a hospital near Holon in critical condition.
A 66-year-old woman and a man in his 80s were seriously injured and died of their injuries shortly after the attack, the city’s Wolfson Hospital said.
Israeli news website Ynet said the two men, whose ages were previously listed as 70 by Magen David Adom, were married.
Two other men were injured, emergency services said. The condition of the 68-year-old man is serious, while the injuries of the 26-year-old man are moderate.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the scene on Sunday, where he told reporters: “Our war is not only against Iran, but also here in the streets.”
“This is why we have armed the Israeli population by issuing more than 150,000 gun permits,” said the far-right politician, who has relaxed gun laws and repeatedly called on ordinary Israelis to carry guns.
