A 20-year-old Israeli soldier was stabbed in Tel Aviv on Monday in what police are describing as a terror attack, CNN reported.

The alleged attacker was a Palestinian man who is being held by police for questioning, according to reports.

Police said the Palestinian man repeatedly stabbed the soldier in an assault that was apparently politically motivated, Reuters reported.

According to the Israel police's Twitter feed, the incident was deemed as a "terrorist knife attack."

The Israeli soldier was taken to the hospital in critical condition with several stab wounds, according to authorities.
