An ultra-Orthodox Jew has stabbed six gay pride marchers in Jerusalem, in a repeat of a 2005 attack for which he served 10 years behind bars, police and medics say.
Yishai Shlissel was released from jail three weeks ago after having served his sentence for the attack a decade ago when three marchers were wounded, a police spokesman said.
The Magen David Adom, the Jewish equivalent of the Red Cross, said two of Thursday’s casualties were in serious condition.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu swiftly condemned the attack as a “very serious incident”.
“The state of Israel respects the private freedom of individuals which is a fundamental principle exercised in this country,” he said in a statement.
“We must ensure that every man and every woman can live in full security in any way that they choose.”
