More than a 1000 security forces were directly involved with the search for the terrorist, including IDF special forces inside Tel Aviv, which was an unusual decision made due to the difficulty in finding the terrorist after the attack.
Ichilov hospital announced that 8 wounded are still hospitalized with them. One is in critical condition and they are still fighting for his life. Three are in the ICU and no longer in danger. Four more are in light to moderate condition.
The identity of the terror victims have been released. This first is Tomer Morad, 28. He was an employee at the bar. The second was his friend Eytam Magini, 27.
