STORYLINE:
A pair of Palestinian attackers went on a stabbing rampage in a town near Tel Aviv on Thursday night, killing at least three people and wounding four others before fleeing in a vehicle, Israeli authorities said.
Police launched a massive search for the assailants, setting up roadblocks and dispatching a helicopter after the attack in Elad, an ultra-Orthodox town.
The stabbing, coming on Israel's Independence Day, was the latest in a string of deadly attacks in Israeli cities in recent weeks.
Israeli-Palestinian tensions have soared recently, with the attacks in Israel, military operations in the occupied West Bank and violence at Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site.
The site, home to the Al Aqsa Mosque, was the scene of new unrest earlier on Thursday.
Officials have said that three dead people were identified at various locations.
At least four others were wounded, one critically, officials said.
Israeli media quoted police as saying there were two assailants, and just before midnight, police said they were still searching for the attackers.
They called on the public to avoid the area, and urged people to report suspicious vehicles or people to them.
