Ran Oren, who donated candles for the vigil, which was held around a fountain in central Tel Aviv, told Reuters that each candle donated represented each victim of the attack. He said the vigil was held in order to "light this dark moment."
Dozens of onlookers could be seen gathered around the makeshift vigil, some of them lighting candles along the fountain.
The vigil was first reported by Reuters.
