Israel has been gripped in a wave of terror attacks emanating from the Palestinian community since September of last year. Though violent incidences have subsided over recent weeks, tensions are still wrought throughout the country.
One of the most violent and shocking attacks occurred less than two months ago, when a pair of Palestinian terrorists shot and killed four Israeli civilians at the Sarona Market complex in Tel Aviv.
The June 8 attack also left more than 40 wounded.
