A U.S. green card holder and Moroccan native who arrived in Israel three days prior stabbed four people in Tel Aviv on Jan. 21, before he was shot dead by local law enforcement.

The assailant, Abdelaziz Kaddi, whose age has been variously reported as 29 or 30, was identified from documents found on his body. He had been flagged by security when arriving in the country but was granted entry, a decision Israel’s Shin Bet security agency said was being investigated.
