Israeli police say an 18-year-old Palestinian stabbed and lightly wounded four people in Tel Aviv before being arrested.
It remains unclear whether today's attack was politically motivated.
Since September 2015, Palestinians have killed 42 Israelis, 2 visiting Americans and a British tourist in a wave of stabbing, shooting and car-ramming attacks.
In that same time, Israeli forces killed at least 244 Palestinians, most of them identified as attackers by Israeli authorities. The rest died in clashes with Israeli troops.
Israel says the violence is fuelled by Palestinian incitement. Palestinians say it stems from anger over 50 years of occupation.
