Tel Aviv, Jan 22 (AP) Four people were wounded in a stabbing attack in central Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening and the suspect was killed, according to Israeli police, as the country's fragile ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza entered its third day.

Police did not identify the attacker but believe the stabbings were a terrorist act.
