First time TLV pride & safety

Hi everyone. I hope you are well. I was thinking of making my first ever trip to Israel this summer for Pride but I am a bit hesitant and have some safety concerns.

It has always been a dream of mine to go, and I want to seize the moment but statistically the number of stabbings and shooting incidents on buses and in crowded places etc puts me off, especially with the (sometimes violent) prisoners being released as part of the new deal.

Am I being overly paranoid?

I would look to be based in Tel Aviv, one day have a walk down to Jaffa and markets one day and then a day trip to Jerusalem at some point. Museums, beach, the usual tourist things. I will avoid Bethlehem excursions.

I'd also like to attend the Pride parade and at night times have some food and drinks and maybe go to some gay bars.

I am a solo traveller.

Does anyone have advice or has anyone felt the same as me but went anyway? I'd love to hear your advice and experiences.

Thank you 🇮🇱
